- Born as the first of two children to Emmy Espitalier. His father went missing shortly after he was given birth to. He was born in Cape Town, South Africa in a poverty stricken area that was more or less filled with a lot of damaged homes and even homeless people in general.
- His mother became pregnant again when he was three years old. She gave birth to a little girl who was born with AIDS, which was given to her as well through the sex to procreate her. When his mother became very ill from this, he and his sister were moved to live with their grandparents. His mother died a year later.
- His little sister meant the world to him. As he got older, he'd do anything he could to protect her and made sure that she got everything she needed including clothing and food at any cost. He'd go hungry just so she could eat. He understood how dangerous her condition was, being born with it and he wanted her to make sure she got the best, as best as he could give it to her.
- His sister literally died in his arms when he was twelve years old. The last thing she ever said to him was that she loved him, and he'll never forget that moment for as long as he lives.
- His grandparents tried to give him the best care that they could, and even sent him through school. His education was a huge deal. Half way through high school, he was shipped to live in West Chester, Pennsylvania with his great aunt to give him even better care and a better education.
- In school, he was a typical jock type in the theory that he played a lot of sport and he was insanely good at them. He had the body type and the skills. He played for West Chester East's softball and football team and took one year in hockey. But he wasn't your typical stupid jock. He excelled not only on the field, but in the text books as well. He held an A average and often got honors. He took the time to tutor those with special needs as well.
- During his time in school, he took part in a Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, mentoring younger children who were abused, had special needs, or simply just needed someone. He'd often help with school work, give them a positive outlook on life, or just simply hang out with them when they needed it. He was paired off with a little boy who suffered from dyslexia and thought he was too dumb to do anything. Now he's in the class of 2010 and has a scholarship to Harvard.
- When he graduated, he went to West Chester University to study both marine biology and zoology. He became heavily involved with wanting to learn more about animals, being born in an area where a lot of wild life roamed. He graduated with honors when he was twenty two years old.
- While in school, his friends had noticed his well kept physique and a dorm tradition was watching wrestling, something he was fairly interested in. His friends jokingly suggested that it was something he should take up and he didn't think it was a bad idea. He went into training after he graduated from college and just before his 23rd birthday, he was scouted by the WWE and signed to a developmental contract.
- He's a natural when it comes to the ring, almost like he was born to do this. He was put in the developmental establishment, FCW, for two years before he was brought up to the main roster to be on WWE's newest show: NXT.
- During NXT, he was mentored by Matt Hardy, someone he really didn't get to know outside of the NXT job. He was easily a fan favorite, but finished third in the series, the winner being Wade Barrett.
- After NXT was finished, he became a heel, along with the rest of the rookies who performed a staged riot on WWE Monday Night Raw.
- He's excited to see where the future goes and to him, it really doesn't matter. He's where he wants to be and is very happy about that.
