June 20, 1987. Ocean Ice Palace, Brick, NJ. I stepped through the ropes as part of Rage in the Cage, a wild night of steel cages, legends, and heat-soaked adrenaline. You can spot me on the card — wrestling as Rocky or Ricky Bauer — facing off in front of a packed crowd.

Decades later, I wrote Bobby Champion, a Wattpad novel about a pro wrestler chasing glory while trying not to lose himself. It’s fiction — but it’s written by someone who lived it.

If you’ve ever wondered what life behind the curtain feels like... what it means to win, lose, or walk away... then Bobby Champion is the story you’ve been waiting to read.

31 years ago today. I was a Tech 1 at ESPN during OJ’s Bronco chase—cut in live on ESPN2, scrambling ad breaks. Later kept it as picture-in-picture. As an editor, I cut tons of OJ case coverage: murder, arrest, trial, acquittal. Wild media moment.

“This chapter delivers raw tension and messy consequences… Jesse’s night spirals from reckless hookups to a brutal bar fight… Scott’s bat-swinging rescue surprises even himself. The grudging breakfast truce says it all—these two can’t quit each other.”

📖 By My Own Hands — Chapter 8: Chaos and Consequences The tension explodes in one brutal night, but healing begins in the quiet after. A story about damage, redemption, and the unlikely bond between a dock worker and a street-smart hustler.🧡 Based on an award-winning screenplay.

📢 NEW WATTPAD SERIES ALERT 📢

"BY MY OWN HANDS"

Two broken men. One last bad decision.

Jesse’s a street-smart hustler who doesn’t do attachments. Scott’s a guy who’s failed at everything—including suicide. When their paths collide in Philly, they strike a deal: Jesse gets paid to make sure Scott’s next attempt doesn’t fail.

Why you’ll binge this: ✔ Gritty, unflinching realism ✔ Dark humor that lands like a punch ✔ Two messed-up characters you can’t look away from ✔ Philly’s streets as a character itself

"Like a modern-day Bukowski meets The Wire… but with worse life choices."

NOW ON WATTPAD: By My Own Hands

Based on the award-winning screenplay honored at the 2009 Downbeach (Atlantic City) Film Festival.

Scott Stallworth is a thirty-year-old dock worker at a dying newspaper, adrift in depression and failed dreams, staring into the void of his own life. But when he meets Jesse—a sharp-tongued, streetwise hustler battling demons of his own—the two strangers strike a chilling bargain that becomes the beginning of an unforgettable journey.

What starts as a pact born in darkness unfolds into a raw, unsettling, and surprisingly funny exploration of connection, grief, survival, and hope. By My Own Hands takes readers on a road trip filled with jagged edges and unexpected grace—a collision of lives that exposes deep scars, and maybe, just maybe, a reason to keep going.

This story is dark, deep, and disarmingly human, blending black comedy with heartbreaking truths. It will make you laugh when you shouldn’t, squirm when it cuts too close, and feel more than you’re ready for.

Brace yourself. By My Own Hands is not a feel-good story. It’s a feel-everything story.
