Born Without Legs, But Never Without Purpose
Zion entered the world with a rare condition known as caudal regression syndrome, which left him without legs. From the very start, life tested his strength. He underwent several surgeries just to sit upright—a challenge that would break many, but only fueled his determination to fight harder.
Despite facing bullying and isolation in school, Zion refused to let pity or limits define him. His mindset was simple but powerful: “I compete against the best, and I’m going to beat the best.”
Finding Love and Guidance Through Family
At 16, Zion’s life took a transformative turn when he was adopted by a compassionate woman named Kimberli Hawkins. She didn’t just become his mother—she became his anchor. “She gave me a purpose,” Zion said, acknowledging how her love and encouragement lit a fire within him.
Their bond became a cornerstone of his journey, proving that support and belief can reshape even the harshest beginnings.
From Zero Wins to Wrestling Champion
Zion’s introduction to wrestling wasn’t a triumphant one. In elementary school, he lost every match for years. But rather than give up, he treated each defeat as a lesson. By his senior year of high school, his persistence paid off—he rose to become one of the top wrestlers in the state.
His journey mirrors the truth that greatness doesn’t happen overnight; it’s forged through failure, sweat, and stubborn willpower.

Breaking Limits and Setting Records
Zion’s passion for pushing boundaries didn’t stop on the mat. His strength and endurance earned him multiple Guinness World Records, including the title for the most diamond push-ups in three minutes.
“It’s a mind game,” he said. “When the pain hits, you can either fold—or keep pushing until you reach your goal.” That mindset has become his personal mantra and the heartbeat of his brand: no excuses, only effort.
Dreaming Bigger: The Road to the Olympics
Now, Zion’s eyes are set on the grandest stage—training for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. Alongside his manager, Craig Levinson, he’s building the next chapter of his legacy, combining athletic ambition with mental resilience.

But wrestling isn’t his only dream. He continues to inspire as a speaker, actor, and advocate for people with disabilities—proving that limits exist only in the mind.
Zion’s story isn’t just about success—it’s about transformation. His advice for anyone facing obstacles? “Find what makes you happy and keep being yourself. One day, you might be breaking my records.”
He’s living proof that no mountain is too high when your will to climb is stronger than your fear of falling.
