With a lifetime passion for wrestling since 2nd grade, competing on an international level in Greece,, Bulgaria,, Poland, I won a World Silver Medal along the way. In May 2019, inspired from a dream, I acquired a new passion, for the Prolife movement, thus to spread Gods "Right to Life" message to wrestling fans around the world at my final-retiring tournament at Tibilisi Georgia (the Country), in the following October.
Anyway; against the Olympic Charter rules (no politics or religion can be expressed at any world games), taking a chance, knowing I could be ejected from the tournament, I went ahead and had a custom uniform, decorated with Prolife statements and symbols (it was a billboard for Prolife), made before we/Team USA left the country. I wore it in my first match, getting booed, jeered, leered at and yes also cheered (lots of noise), which created dialogue and controversy that rippled through the stands and the other 48 teams that were participating. Wearing it, I won my first match! So far so good, but at the start of my second match the UWW tournament officials rushed from the head table and demanded I remove my Prolife-uniform at once! I conceded and changed into my official Team USA Uniform. During this fiasco of stern rebuke the eyes more than 2000 fans was glued to the unusual interaction at the center stage mat. And, though I could not wear my Prolife uniform for the remainder of the tournament it didn’t matter to me or God at that point. Because the message, with plenty of excitement and emotions stirred in the hearts of those who witnessed this “Once in a lifetime sideshow that somehow became the main show and never again thing” without a doubt, sharing it in many languages took the story home to all there respective countries and thus creating more dialogue further discussed it with there family, friends and so on and so on!
Though I did not end up winning the tournament (that doesn’t matter all) - My ‘for real Dream’ came true! Gods mission was accomplished! And I am overjoyed to have been part of it.
I can only hope and pray He (God), did say “Well done good and faithful servant” (Mathew 25:21).
Thank you God for choosing me! I love you!

Psalm 139:13-16 For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother's womb. [14] I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. [15] My frame was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors]... [16] Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were appointed for me...
