The 295-pounder initially competed in matches on the independent scene and worked alongside The Bravado Brothers in Dragon Gate USA as a bodyguard. He then became known as Moose and established himself as one of wrestling’s best up-and-comers during his time with Ring of Honor and Impact Wrestling.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet in 2018, Moose revealed that he received his nickname as an American Footballer and he originally disliked it. However, now that it has become part of his wrestling persona, he is happy to reap the financial rewards of using the name.
