I’m a guy that creates my own destiny in this world. Until I’m off the planet, there’s always a second chance.

I was raised in a bit of a hippie environment. I was lying around naked until I was two, having a good time. I think the California mentality is laid back and I definitely embody that.

I sometimes get caught up in the big goals...That aren't really the ultimate goal, which is to be happy for what you have.

When I started wrestling in the eighth grade, I just fell in love with it, and started shifting my focus more to that. I considered playing in college, but it made more sense for me to wrestle, because I weigh about a buck fifty.

A lot of fights in my life have been avoided through confidence and demeanor, so that's pretty masculine also.

I think one of my biggest strengths overall is staying in the moment.

I just happen to love fighting and happen to be great at it. And I let my lifestyle carry over into my chosen profession.
