His AMPro debut on episode 7 did not go as planned however he believes there may be some deeper reason to him losing beyond just being pinned, perhaps the GM doesn't like him and is going out of his way to destroy him and his career.Raised in Kenilworth, Washington, D.C., and heavily influenced by the District’s infamous percussion-based rhythms of “Go-Go”, Marky has also become a student of hip-hop, embracing a variety of influences. Eventually he came to AMPro hoping to reach the levels of his idols. In between warshipping the indies, bitching about big name wrestling companies online, declaring that hes done watching there product (and then watching it anyway the following week), he started to do his best at becoming his wrestling idols through tons of training.

He began watching indie wrestling religiously falling in love with everything indie and turning away from "lamestream wrestling" treating the likes of Bryan Danielson, Low Ki, Jon Moxly, CM Punk and Super Dragon as gods, declaring those who got WWE and TNA contracts to be sell outs. He nearly gave it all up when, while moving out of state, he found a Ring of Honor show, an event that would ultimately change his destiny. He wrestled in many Southern Californian wrestling groups but just couldn't get away from being "that one guy". He started out as a pop star however his star failed to even get noticed before being shot down by the similarly named Marky Mark (and his funky bunch), He turned to wrestling in 1999 at the height of the grunge movement when he realized that the days of pretty boy pop stars are over.
