Before that he played Hockey. As a 9th grader he weighed 95 pounds, “Hockey wasn’t my sport,” He then tried out for wrestling and made varsity right away. He got pinned a lot. “I do remember me not getting pinned one time helped us win the dual.” As his knowledge grew in the sport of wrestling, he knew this was a sport that goes deep inside a person’s blood. “When my first son was born, my wife’s first words were, “now you have your wrestler”. We have to travel further then most for Tech Team practices, however, the skills my boys have learned through Tech Team are unbelievable and unmatchable.
