He has a unique speaking voice, like a sped up version of modern movies Sonic The Hedgehog with a Texan Twang when he's excited or angry-

I hate being labeled. The type of wrestler I am is not as rare as it used to be but there certainly is some misconceptions. I had many influences as I got into being a wrestling fan, my older brother Arlo despite being a pacifist is a huge fan of Bruce Lee and I became a fan too. As I started watching wrestling as a smaller person I gravitated towards the Luchadores and the junior heavyweight Japanese wrestlers, and even discovered by six years old the
British style of wrestling, that was influential, seeing smaller wrestlers use wit and power, and be able to grapple purely.
It is wild how natural everything flowed into what it became. I saw the challenger space shuttle disaster at 2 years and 10 months old, my parents are phycicists, my father has minor degrees in astrophysics we bonded over my interests in aviation, and cosmology. BY three years old I had my aspirations in life- astronaut, martial arts master and pro wrestler. The lattter two kind of working out( chuckles). I ####ed up the first one, that's a whole story for another day.
Starting at four years old I began building an athletic resume, I am quite different from my family as I am much more energized athletically. I'm very active.
Gymnastics and soccer from 4 to 8 years old,
amateur wrestling from 6 to 10 years old,
backyard wrestler from 10 to 13 years old.
Convincing the strict state athletic commission to
license me pro three years under the legal required age on my 15th birthday.
On my 10th birthday I achieved my black belt in Taekwondo, starting that at five years old. That achievement was impressive too as people who start doing martial arts at 5 don't become black belts until they are 15 or 16.
I was a " gifted kid", very high IQ, I didn't like that label or diagnosis or whatever you would call it. My interests were intellectual and adults liked that, it kind of sucks the fun of it. That goes the same way for fitness and sports, people, especially adults they attach such expectations from their values and it was tough to wrap their haead around my intentions.
I grew up in Texas which is a hotbed for pro wrestling, so as I super nerd for it that was not frowned upon, however I was undersized and the love and preference for everything big in Texas is not just a stereotype, so I had to be " big in actios." That was just what it became for me.
I have some neurological/ chemical imbalances and a personality disorder for attention seeking.
I was affably annoying.
I would drive my teachers nuts, because I would finish my school work first and then egg on classmates to dare me to do backflips and I would do that.
I never had a napolean complex, I've always been focused on justice and fairness, so I really stood up for those who couldn't fight for themselves, even if they were average size to bigger than me.
I did have a bit of a big mouth, I could take a joke but was also a smart-ass. It's such an odd thing how I've never been that great of a promo as a wrestler, I would agree with others that I am very charismatic. Even as a backyard wrestler and when I became pro, my entrance I got big reactions, slapping hands of people in the stands in the front rows before flipping into the ring.
I love attention. Part of it is my weird voice, I know that. I get so in my head, too many thoughts at once and I'm kind of all over the place.
I'm more of an actions speaker louder kind of guy.
( sarcastically): An indy darling who can't promo, no way!"
How I always word it is I am oddity and prodigy who became a commodity at 25 years old. That was not my intention or expectation. My goal was to become a wrestler in Japan and I achieved at 11 years after my debut in backyard wrestling and 6
years into my pro career at 21 years old.
