Biography:

How did you get started in Professional Wrestling?

I played football from about age 9 until I graduated high school. I then went to a lesser known Division I university and got my higher education while playing linebacker for the football team. My next step was the NFL. That is, until no team drafted me or asked me in for a rookie workout. From there, I decided to get a job doing something active that was similar to football. Pro wrestling happened to be the choice.

Where did you train for your pro wrestling career?

Well, without being specific, I was able to get into a couple of pro wrestling schools. I was good enough with the fundamentals to continue training, but I guess you could say my ego was in better shape than my body for the sport. I was kicked out of both schools for not getting along with the other participants. I then started watching You Tube for some pointers.

You trained by watching You Tube?

Pretty much. I'd look for extra things. Like alternate versions of basic moves to get a better grasp of things in the ring. Remember I had fundamentally been taught. But there was something about watching Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Hawk and Animal, Sting, Steve Austin, Buddy Landel, and others that made what I knew seem to need more. I mean, I couldn't really do that, but their matches and interviews motivated me. I have to say I really liked how Hawk could hold himself in an interview -- intense and entertaining.

When was your first wrestling match?

I'm not sure of the exact date. But I do know I got lucky to wrestle to a small around Indianapolis' suburbs. I happened to walk in and ask for a job. They gave me some crappy robe and told me to wrestle. Good thing I had wrestling gear broke in already! I was the target of Tom Prichard that night and he gave me quite the beating. I guess he realized I was green and he really worked me over. Ya know, for an older veteran in the sport, he can still run. It's like he's half his age in that ring. After the match, the company liked what they saw from me and actually asked Tom to make sure I got better in the ring. A couple of weeks later, Jimmy Valiant was around that company and took me under his wing in other ways.

Haley and Hanna Cavinder seem to be quite the managerial duo for you, how did you tree meet?

Well! They may do some of that, or they just may be some added eyes and ears for me so I don't get some sneak attack on me. As for our meeting, I'd say it was when I had made a special trip to Miami for a once a year interpromotional tour in that part of Florida between the Indianapolis and Miami companies. It was good exposure for me and the rest of the guys. As for Haley and Hanna, those two ladies were in their own careers. They were playing college basketball there and really popular because of their talent on the court. Both were at the interpromotional show and we met on a whim. They got my autograph, said they were interested in trying out after they were finished with basketball. I told them I'd keep an eye out for them and help if I could.

How did you come up with the names to your finisher(s)?

In music, a symphony is a musical composition for an orchestra--sometimes arranged in numberous movements--so it has some steps to it. It's "bittersweet" because you don't need much effort to be caught off guard by it. That's the Bitter Sweet Symphony. Sometimes you also make adjustments and change music or a symphony, remix things a little. That's the Bitter Sweet Symphony Remix.

Well, being as I'm "Mr. Eye-Candy" and/or "The Candy Man," I thought to just call this move "The Sweet Shot." Of course, because it's just that good.

How did you come up with the monikers of "Mr. Eye-Candy"/"The Candy Man?"

Well, the names were indirectly brought about by Jimmy Valiant. It was just the right timing for that to happen. If it weren't for him and Tom, I think I'd still be on a bit of a bottom dwelling mentality.

Is there any thing else you wanted to add about your time so far in professional wrestling?

Only that I have to say "how sweet it is" to be in this business! I got that line from my great-grandfather. He told me that he heard some supposed comedy legend named Jackie Gleason say it all the time. Yeah! He said he worked for Gleason for about 2 or 3 years while he was trying to go to college. It didn't workout, his last year of schooling. So he had to run a 2-year enlistment in the military. It was mandatory back then. Anyway, I hope that my career can continue in E-Wrestling Alliance. That way I can show fans all over the country everything that makes up "The Candy Man."
