He is from Ohio. The guy spent the first sixteen years of his life in a foster family. His current mother's name is Kimberly, and thanks to the support of this woman, our hero finds the strength to move forward. Wrestling is his passion and life.

Zion is a talented and enthusiastic guy. He already claims to be one of the best freestyle wrestlers in the world.

«I started wrestling in second grade. The first matches came at a very young age. I didn't know what to do. Yes, and my opponents were also confused. Some of them were even afraid of me. There were also those whom I myself feared. I didn't really understand what was going on.

    I've tried and failed and moved on. It took years to figure out what works and how. My current schedule is two workouts daily, six times a week. The fact that I was born without legs does not stop me from pursuing my dream,” says Zion.

    Unfortunately, he had to face bullying. The first years at school were difficult, and he often responded to bullying with aggression.

    “I was bullied because I had no legs. But you know, the best way to deal with haters is to use their hatred to your advantage in order to rise to the top. Haters are your biggest fans. Use this to your advantage.
