It was an honor getting to speak at the Wisconsin Counties Association conference as the keynote speaker, thank you for the opportunity!

Incredible season, brother. I know this is just the start for you—the best is out in front. Keep being a hammer. Congrats to you and your family! @Hidlaymania

Today, I’m announcing a decision that has not come easy. Wrestling has been a part of my identity for as long as I can remember. This sport built me. It shaped my discipline, resilience, toughness, and mindset. It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable highs, hard lessons through adversity, and a standard for how I approach life every single day! But sometimes in life, all you need is an opportunity. First, you have to recognize it. Second, you have to have the courage to ATTACK it. This was simply an opportunity I could not ignore. I’ve accepted the position as Vice President of Sales for the state of Wisconsin with Home Pro Roofing. This opportunity will bless my family in ways I never imagined possible, and after a lot of reflection and many conversations with my wife and kids, I knew it was the right step forward. Stepping away from coaching was not a decision I made lightly. In truth, I never thought I would. I’m stepping away from an incredible team and a group of young men I care deeply for — but I’m also stepping into another incredible team. I now have the opportunity to build and lead a group of highly motivated, hungry individuals across the state of Wisconsin, and that challenge excites me! I want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to Chris Bono specifically. Fifteen years of loyalty, growth, adversity, championships, rebuilding years, and everything in between. We’ve been side by side through it all. I wouldn’t have wanted to go through those battles with anyone else. I’m forever grateful for the trust, the leadership, and the friendship. The good news is — I’m not going anywhere. I’ll still be in the Madison area. My family loves the state of Wisconsin! And while I may be stepping away from the mat, I’m not stepping away from the mindset. What excites me most about Home Pro Roofing is the culture. The team is made up largely of former wrestlers — disciplined, competitive, tough and hungry individuals who know how to work and serve others. My kind of people! Home Pro Roofing has built a very strong presence in both Michigan and Ohio, and now we’re building something special here in Wisconsin. I have the privilege of leading that charge! And here’s where it gets exciting. I will be aggressively recruiting sales professionals who want more — more growth, more opportunity, and more impact. Especially former wrestlers and competitors who still have that fire but are looking for a new arena to compete in! Former wrestlers and athletes — if you still have that competitive fire but are looking for a place to channel it, I’d love to connect! I am quickly building a team of high character, competitive, disciplined, hard-working winners here in Wisconsin. If that sounds like you, send me a message. LET’S TALK! Wrestling taught me that the best rewards come from stepping into the uncomfortable and betting on yourself. This is me doing exactly that. Grateful for the past.
Excited for the future.
Ready to build. WIN THE DAY!

LETS GO MY MAN!!! WIN THE DAY!!!
