Biographie
American professional wrestler who debuted in 2009 as Green Ant in CHIKARA. He first appeared on screen during the Masks vs. Hair match between the Colony (Fire Ant and Soldier Ant) and Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Chuck Taylor) at "CHIKARA Aniversario Yang" on May 24, 2009. Made his in-ring debut in the Colony (Fire/Soldier/Green)'s victory over the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (UltraMantis Black/Crossbones/Delirious) at "CHIKARA Never Kneel at the Altar of Conformity" on July 31st. Has also competed for CZW, AIW, Wrestling Is Art, Wrestling Is Awesome, Wrestling Is Cool, Wrestling Is Respect, Wrestling Is Fun, Wrestling Is Intense, Dragon Gate USA, Osaka Pro Wrestling, and several other promotions. Following CHIKARA's return in 2014, announced that he was changing his name to Silver Ant, since, after being referred to as the "Resilient Rookie" for some time, he was "no longer a rookie" and "no longer green." He is an 8x Wrestling Is Fun 24/7 Champion and, at "Forza Lucha! 4" on August 13th, 2016, defeated Matt MacIntosh in the finals to win the Forza Lucha Cup. Frightmare tore off his antenna to eliminate him from CHIKARA at "CHIKARA Hide" on June 10, 2017.
He started wrestling under his own name in 2014 for Beyond Wrestling. Under his own name, he is a former AIW Absolute Champion, a former 2x AIW Tag Team Champion, a former 2x EVOLVE Tag Team Champion, a former FU (Freelance Underground) Independent Champion, a former ROH World Television Champion and a 1x ROH World Tag Team Champion with Rhett Titus as The Foundation.
At the end of the 2009 CHIKARA Season Finale "Three-Fisted Tales" on November 22, 2009, he introduced another gimmick as Dieter Von Steigerwalt, who became the evil Director of Fun for the newly-formed heel faction Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes. His role was to pull string and make sure everything went the BDK's way as often as possible.
