Life History:
Richard has been an orphan all his life. He was raised in an orphanage in the inner city of Miami, FL. He was shunned and teased by the other children for his obvious lack of expression and emotion; so much so that he was called "Snow man" for being so cold. At the age of 14, there was a new arrival to the orphanage: 12 year old, Suzy. She was his first friend. Suzy's extraordinary beauty caused all the adolescents boys wanted to get with her. Richard took the defensive immediately, trying to protect young Suzy from any harm or lewd advances from the older boys. Quickly their friendship turned into romance and they dated until Richard turned 18 and had to leave the orphanage and his love. They had come up with a plan in which Rich would adopt Suzy but the adoption agency didn't let him. So defeated, Richard lived life as a homeless man on the streets of Miami.

In Richard's life, all he had known was to fight. He had fought for and to preserve everything he had (and lost). So he frequented bars and would often fight for money, patrons or city dwellers would place bets on either Richard or his opponent. Richard's astonishingly great strength for his size turned many fight in his favor, and he made enough money to eat. One particular fight was with an elderly Asian man. Surprisingly, the Asian man won, but Ice in turn won as well. The old man had been watching Richard's fighting and wanted to take him in and teach him karate. He was a fast learner and by 1996, he had already gained a black belt first degree and was assisting his Sensei in teaching others. But once at this point, Richard got restless. He went to a local independant wrestling show and the same night, he talked to the promoter to try out for the promotion. Rich's martial arts moves were impressive, and the promotion signed him. For Richard's persona, he called upon the name calling from when he was a kid. He turned the SnowMan to the IceMan, and the rest is history.

When IceMan was 21, he spent his birthday drinking at a night club, alone. he began flirting with a gorgeous red-haired woman who looked somewhat familiar. She was also drunk, so she said yes when he asked her top spend the night with him. The next morning, with an intensive hangover, Ice realized who the woman was and therefore Suzy and Rich were reunited. Suzy went with him as his manager/valet in the wrestling promotion. One day, though she saw that Ice was in trouble and she jumped in the ring and did an armbar on Ice's opponent. Suzy, not knowing her strength at the time, broke the opponent's arm. The fed signed her that night. So Ice and "Inferna" (as she began calling herself) became the world renowned tag team of "Fire and Ice" and they were signed by the Smackdown Wrestling Federation in the beginning of the year 2000 where they stayed until the EPWA buyout. Now Inferna and Ice are the tag team champs of the>EPWA.

- Interview By James Nobles -

JAMES NOBLES: What do you think of the SWF upon first impression?

ICEMAN: I think that this promotion would be the best way to bring Fire and I to the next level

JAMES NOBLES: What got you started in wrestling?

ICEMAN: I wanted to get away from Miami and my job teaching karate, SO I went to a small indie fed house show. I just knew it was for me.

JAMES NOBLES: If you weren't wrestling, where would your life have led?

ICEMAN: I would still be teaching karate and maybe competing in it.

JAMES NOBLES: Do you have any fallback abilities or plans for your life besides wrestling?

ICEMAN: I have tried to be wise with our money. I want to be able to provide for Fire long after our careers have ended. And so far, it looks that way.

JAMES NOBLES: Do you have any secret talents or little habits?

ICEMAN: My feet were registered as lethal weapons in Georgia for breaking an opponents neck and putting him into a coma for a month. It was the minimum sentence.

JAMES NOBLES: If you could wrestle ANYONE in history, who would it be, and why?

ICEMAN: Anyone who tries to keep MY FIRE from me. Them, and I never really got over the fact that Randy Raver was "with" Inferna when we broke up in the EPWA.

JAMES NOBLES: If you could have any job, what would it be, and why?

ICEMAN: I would not trade this for anything right now. I am a sports entertainer that is at the top of his game. Fire and I are poised for greatness right now.

JAMES NOBLES: What's the best advice you could give to a new wrestler?

ICEMAN: STAY AWAY FROM MY FIRE!!!
