On how he started working for AEW: “I knew this kid, his name is Darian Bengston. I was making gear for the independents and he liked my stuff, so the show [AEW] was coming through Kansas City. I was asked to show up and I shook Sandra’s hand, I had some gear for Fuego Del Sol at the time, I made some new stuff and it was really nice. She liked it and I dropped off my portfolio per say and that Friday, she called me and said we’d love to have you on the road.”

On learning from Gray: “She taught me so much. It was trial by fire for me, and I didn’t expect that. When I got here, I got right to work and I’ve been working ever since.”
