The Oregon native fought in the UFC from 2013 to 2020 and is currently in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. He also had a brief stint in All Elite Wrestling.

While he has toured the wrestling world, it is his OnlyFans page that has really found success.
“I have to understand now that fighting is just a hobby. It's my part-time job,” he told TMZ for their “Famous & Naked” special. “I have to realize that Onlyfans is what provides me with everything.
“There are many things I would do to support my family,” he added. “I would kill for my family. This is much less than that.”
