I attended the Forest School in Winnersh, Wokingham, where I studied for my GCSE's and A-Levels - for the latter I studied Geography (A), Business Studies (B) and Physics (C). Subsequently, I studied Aeronautical Engineering at Farnborough College of Technology, Farnborough, where I was awarded a 'Merit' level distinction.

Since childhood, it was my career ambition to become a pilot, like my father. While he pursued Commercial flying for British Airways, I wished to join the RAF. Unfortunately, my eyesight did not meet the necessary requirements.

Luckily, at the age of 18, I discovered Professional-Wrestling with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.), and set about on a new career path to actually become an in-ring performer / Sports-Entertainer. I attended a tryout camp in America at the age of 19, got accepted back to train at the WWE school in October 2003, and eventually was offered a contract in 2006. During that time, I had wrestled in both the States and the United Kingdom, where I had the priviledge of becoming British Heavyweight Champion "Steve Sonic".

I became a WWE Superstar in 2008, known as "DJ Gabriel" where I enjoyed a brief run on National and Global TV for roughly 9 months, and had the chance to perform in front of audiences of thousands, and millions more around the world. When my contract was not renewed at the start of 2010, I returned home to the UK, in search of a new career path.

Body-building has been a hobby and passion of mine since childhood, growing up watching and wishing to emulate the action stars of the Big Screen - becoming a professional wrestler in the United States was largely due to my desire to become a larger-than-life star and to follow in the foot-steps of my idols - Arnold Schwarzenegger was, and continues to be, my greatest role model other than my father.

I have decided to pursue a career in Sports & Fitness Modelling, with a desire to act on both TV and Film. Whilst still in America, I attended the Arnold Sports Festival, where I placed 2nd in the Muscle & Body 'Best Body Contest 2010'. In the UK, I most recently became a semi-finalist in the WSM Pro 'World Sports Model Competiton 2010'. I have starred in the UKTV documentary "The Secret Life of the Gym", and have most recently had a role in a UK short Film under production "The Perpetrators".

Ultimately, my single, guiding desire continues to be to live an extraordinary life, and to be recognised for my athleticism and talents as an entertainer. I belive I possess the necessary looks, physicality, dedication and most importantly, attitude to succeed in my new career ambitions. With Model Mayhem, I'm hoping to find the right opportunities I need to showcase myself, and to become the person I know I can be.
