Some of events that have shaped me as a person is having a gay friend (made me much more open to how people live their lives), participating in my school's biggest production (made me realize I love producing and writing) moving across the country (learning to move on), watching Sean Casey on Storm Chasers (made me a much more positive person) and see him achieve his goal of filming inside a tornado. One moment I truly am grateful for was meeting Kevin Owens (aka Kevin Steen). He is my inspiration and what made me get into pro wrestling. I now aspire to have at least one match with him.
One thing that has changed a lot for me over the years is my feelings towards life. As I kid: happy go lucky. From around age 10 to 14, I was such a pessimist. Finally getting to experience life has changed me for the better because know I am aware of what awesome things I can do and experience. I changed because I knew I wasn't myself for the longest time but I couldn't find a good reason to get myself over that ledge. Losing weight and starting to watch wrestling has impacted me in such a way that unlike some of the guys in the ring that have their career end with a snap of a finger, I have the opportunity to make the best of my life for years to come. So I respect what they do because without them, I'm not "me".
My biography would start with the word "weird" as chapter 1. Chapter 2 would be me asking a question to the reader such as: "I wasn't expecting anyone to open this book. I guess now we're this far in, hopefully I can entertain you with a story." The book would finish with: "Now was that all that bad? I thought so. But in retrospect, I'm the luckiest man alive. For what I have gone through, I am, for the better, someone that impacts lives. Hopefully I made a dent in yours."
Ethnicity and race hasn't really changed anything in my life. I'm a First Nations who looks like he's white in a multicultural town. I have friends who look different from me, but others look the same. To me, color and origin doesn't make a difference to how I live my life. If I make friends in a multicultural community, all I have is more friends. Not more African-American friends or more Asian friends. Just friends that I care for.
