All in all, he is not dependent solely on AEW for his income. He is a successful heir, carving his path in wrestling and sports management. Graduated from the University Laboratory High School and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2001 and 2007 respectively with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance, he has put his skills and talents to good use.

The success he has gathered is the result of his hard work. Yes, he had some help from his dad, but that doesn’t mean he was dependent on his father on every step of his business journey. He took lessons and implemented on his own, which is why he has come a long way with his business ventures.
