Billy Started his wrestling career in Rockton, Illinois at the age of 3. He wrestled for the Hononegah Indians. Wrestling is the family business, and he followed in his dad’s and uncles’ footsteps. His first tournament was on 11/9/2005. We moved to Las Vegas in 2008 and joined Team GV wrestling with Jake Rollans in Henderson, NV. From 2008 until 2016 Billy won the NV State title in at least 2 out of styles, every year. He triple-crowned on many occasions. Billy enrolled in Slam Academy as a freshmen wrestling for Jake and Bill Mitchell.
