Ace is renowned for his mastery of the shooting star press but is known for his extremely eclectic in ring style combining Lucharesu ( combination of Japanese and Mexican styles) with martial arts disciplines such as Taekwondo( Black belt rank since 1993) , Budokan Brazilian Ju Jitsu which combines yoga and MMA together, as well as capoeira. Since three years old his goals in life were to be a martial arts maste, astronaut and pro wrestler the later working out. In 1987 he began doing gymnastics and playing soccer. In 1988 he began doing martial arts, specifically taekwondo and amateur wrestling in 1989 due to being influenced from discovering British pro wrestling.
He became a black belt on his 10th birthday ( March 16th 1993) and
On May 8th, 1993 he began backyard wrestling which he stopped on September 6th 1996
He began his training on January 20th 1997 with GCW( Galveston Championship Wrestling) paying the tuition he funded himself through tutoring his neighbors’ high school age kids for the SATs, chores/allowance from his parents, Bar Mitzvah Money and cleaning neighbors' pools and working as the neighborhood paperboy. He impressed the state athletic commission on his 15th birthday on March 16th 1998 and made his pro debut on March 29 1998 both matches against his rival from wrestling school Locuro, the previous year around his birthday GCW had gotten a cable access tv show deal but since they were both underage he and Locuro( Damian) were excluded at first due to the strict state athletic commission. They made that debut on the first live taping episode of the cable access show.
In 1994 through an advanced placement program he was able to skip/pass through junior and highschool and began studying astronomy at University of Texas in Austin Texas while there he was an assistant professor but he got let go and dropped out on June 12th 1999 when he was caught / exposed selling small amounts of marijuana and magic mushrooms to students .He did not face criminal charges as a delinquent, but it went on his academic record ultimately ending his hopes to ever get hired by Nasa which besides being a wrestler was his other dream/goal.
He wrestled in the south in Texas , Arkansas , Louisana, Oklahoma and Utah until he moved to Chicago, Illinois in 2001, living via RV as he wrestled in the midwest, midsouth and east coast independent circuits, becoming a known name in the early 2000’s independent scene which gaining recognition with the IWC. In 2001 his job was working as a code monkey( coder) for a startup tech company in a strip mall, unfortunately he was let go the following year due to his wrestling bookings increasing, unfortunately the pay did not improv which caused him to struggle financially.
His luck turned around in 2004, when on April 3rd 2004 he defeated Jack Rabbit in Aurora, Illinois at East Aurora High School for the vacant Regional Midwest Middleweight championship becoming the inaugural champion and got hired on his first international tour of the UK/ Europe from October 16th to December 27th. He achieved his pipedream of wrestling in Japan as he earned a two year contract for Toryumon Titans in Kobe Japan, making his debut on January 8th 2005. In 2006 and 2007 he made excursions back to the US wrestling in the West Coast and signed with WWE( World Wrestling Enterprise) on September 5th 2007 and was sent to the developmental territory in Kentucky, making his debut there on September 15th , he became world champion there on December 1st but only held the championship until March 8th 2008 and debuted in WWE( World Wrestling Enterprise) on March 18th. He came into the federation regarded as an impressive, well reputable young veteran , he earned the respect of veterans and became friends with childhood heroes however upper-management marketed him incorrectly as more clean cut which clashed with his free-spirit side. Unfortunately in 2008 by this time he had shoulder problems and got surgery for a torn rotator cuff in 2010. In 2012 on his 29th birthday he got in a motorcycle accident which left his right foot and ankle mangled, they kept him for 2 years more allowing him to heal but released him in June of 2014,
He has remained on good terms and has since continued to come in for Mo-cap work for their video game series and teach a couple classes for cruiserweights in their performance center.
The weekend after his release he went on a spiritual retreat in the Peruvian jungle for an
Ayahuasca, the plant psychedelic medicines were legally administered by monks, the Ayahuasca did not take but he took Wachuma made from San Pedro cactus which made him spiritually reborn. Since then he has studied Buddhism and eastern philosophy, he rejects having any dogma towards any religion yet he is a certified meditation therapist since 2020. He also has his own Cacti garden. Since 2010 he has also trained in yoga, becoming a certified Yoga instructor also in 2020.
Despite not being materialistic he had become a millionaire by 2008. He owns a house in the same neighborhood as his parents house/childhood home in Sugar Land Texas, he also has two hotel residences one in Kobe, Japan and the other in Las Vegas, Nevada. He also has an apartment in the Bronx of New York. Since 2019 He owns his own wrestling school called the Sky Dojo which has a small but dedicated class.
In 2017 he began having shoulder and neck issues, he’s been fortunate only to have had 3 concussions( 2006, 2018 and 2021).
Since 2017 he has adapted although an already underrated technician using his yoga experience he has adapted his in ring style to be even more technical and submission based. Since 2014 Ace Sky uses his platform in mostly non-dogmatic fashion to encourage his spiritual philosophy of “ The Middle Way” , a combination of philosophy which encourages inclusion, creative ingenuity and the philosophical sides of martial arts and pro wrestling. It is secular despite influences from Buddhism and Hinduism. The only hardcore side of this philosophy is the political side as it is all about civil disobedience to the evils of capitalisms and corporations, and fights for civil rights and for legalization of cannabis and psychedelics.

Entrance Theme Song: Eye In The Sky by The Alan Parsons Project
Entrance:
During the instrumental of Eye In The Sky by the Alan Parsons project the fans count down from 5 which is on the titantron as after the 5 count a rocket statue drops down from the bottom of the titantron to the stage and the podbay doors open. Ace walks out and stands on the stage bowing his head down while clasping his hands together in the prayer taunt as the ring announcer announces his weight( 165 lbs), hometown( Sugar Land Texas), he then raises his arms with twin peace sign/bunny finger finger gesture and then using his dominant arm( left arm) to point to his forehead with the Third Eye taunt.
He makes his way down the aisle high-fiving as many fans as possible on both sides, when he reaches the end of aisle, he dashes forward and executes his trademark nifty slide through the bottom ring apron rope, he climbs upon the ring apron ropes spreading his arms soaking in the cheers from fans and does a springboard backflip into a lotus pose in the center of the ring.
