My passion for wrestling started at a very young age, and my background and Gymnastics, judo and MMA has helped me a great deal in achieving my goals.
I was trained by Chris Hero aka Kassius Ohno in 2003 and learned my craft on the US independent scene, wrestling for IWA Mid-South, CZW and Chikara before returning home to Europe. I went to Utrecht University and earned a Masters Degree in Media studies, while continuing to wrestle around Europe and Japan. To this day I’m combining pro wrestling matches with television work both on- and offscreen.
Career highlights include hosting my own wrestling event on Utopia on the Dutch SBS6 network, which was seen by a million people. I also enjoyed competing in the legendary Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, and making the Dutch wrestling documentary Ring of Dreams. Noteable opponents include Jushin “Thunder” Liger, Jack Swagger, John Morrisson, Billy Gunn, Jeff Jarrett and Tajiri.
At this time Im also working as a format developer for ITV Studios. I love coming up with new ideas for cool and exciting TV shows.
