About me:

What you need to know about me. I have been a Professional Wrestling Referee since 1998. I had the honor to be trained by the Mid Eastern Wrestling Federation (MEWF) and "Playboy" Bob Starr. Truly, I started out at the bottom. Disc Jockey, Ring Announcer, Student, Wrestler and then Referee. I became a Referee by accident thanks to the State of Maryland not allowing a "Woman to work a Man!" Which brings me to my only regret is that I have never been able to "Wrestle in a match!" Yet, being a Referee allows me more Ring time. I have worked well over 1800 matches and have worked and still work with some of the "Absolute Best Wrestlers on the Indy Scene!" I have been told on numerous occasions that I am a "Great Referee!" I appreciate all compliments and I try to stay very humble. I work with better Referee's as far as I am concerned and my personal favorite is Referee Zachary Carlucci! A Match should never be about "The Referee!" I travel with a tight group of friends who I consider to be my "Brothers" Brewer and Weigle. Thanks to many I have never called a Promoter for work and I have gotten all my work by word of mouth. That means so much to me. It takes special people who do what we do. Lots of heart, soul and dedication. I respect everyone who I have ever gotten in the ring with. I respect them for "Respecting Me!" Through the years it has been a "GREAT HONOR" to step inside the "Square Circle" with the following Wrestling Legends & Superstars! Jimmy Snuka, King Kong Bundy, Nikolai Volkoff, The Iron Sheik, Tito Santana, George "The Animal" Steele, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, The Honky Tonk Man, Typhoon, Gillberg, Axl Rotten, The Patriot, The Rockin' Rebel, Ivory, Goldust, Zach Gowen, Salvatore Sincere, Julio Dinero, "The Black Machismo" Jay Lethal, King Kahlua, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Jerry "The King" Lawler and Scott Hall!!! The only school is "OLD SCHOOL!" Know your wrestling history ... it is the past that has made all of us who we are on the Indy Wrestling Scene!!!
