Snatch Haggis began his training as a professional wrestler at the ripe old age of 29.  This meant he had up to a decade on most of the people who choose to enter the wrestling industry.  However, as is still the case, Snatch's strength and fitness levels assisted in keeping his performance above those much younger than him.

His training began in Hayward, California at the All Pro Wrestling (APW) Boot Camp held at the infamous APW Garage, home to many  "Garage Wars" and of several of the wrestlers features in the movie "Beyond the Mat".  Snatch began learning from many of the best in the business, Donovan Morgan, Vinny Massaro, Mike Modest, who later went on to form Pro Wrestling Iron and have successful careers in Japan with Pro Wrestling Noah.

Unfortunately, Snatch was not able to complete his training in California.  Circumstances sent him back to his home turf in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C.  It was there that he completed his formal training with Jimmy Z Sean Lei and Shorty Smalls, of KYDA Pro Wrestling.  Snatch Haggis continues to be a student of the game with everyone he meets and every promotion he is invited to work for.

Snatch continued to perfect his skills in the ring with such opponents, as Dirty Money, NWA-TNA star, Sonjay Dutt, Sean Lei, and Brandon Day.  It was against Brock Singleton that Snatch Haggis won his first title, KYDA Pro Heavy Weight Champion.  Snatch held this title longer then any previous champion (including former KYDA pro champions Simon Diamond and Steve Corino).  During his 18-month reign, he successfully defended his title from many takers, including his trainer Shorty Smalls, and former WWE Superstar and Olympic gold medallist Nikolai Volkoff.

Snatch was brought into the NWL/HoPWF by Shorty Smalls, and was asked to stay by promoter/booker and independent wrestling star John Rambo.  HoPWF provided some of his most stiff competition, and arguably some of his greatest successes.  Over the period of 15 months, Snatch was one half the four time HoPWF Tag team champions with partners The Freak, The Pinnacle - Sean Patrick and manager Mike Hay.  He made several runs for both the HoPWF and NWL Heavyweight titles and quickly became a fan favorite.

Most recently, Snatch has made his way back to KYDA, capturing the KYDA Pro Hard Core Championship.

In addition to KYDA and NWL/HoPWF, Snatch has appeared and competed in several other great organizations.  These include Afa the Wild Samoan's WXW in Pennsylvania, CCW in Washington D.C, VCW in Virginia, and Future Shock Wrestling, near Chicago.

Through his contacts at KYDA and NWL/HoPWF, Snatch has met many of today's stars including independent sensations Alexis Laree (now under contract with the WWE), Joey Matthews and Christian York, Michael Modest and Chris Daniels, current stars like Batista and Jamal, Virgil, Steve Corino, Simon Diamond and Dawn Marie,  and the likes of HeadShrinker Samu and Afa The Wild Samoan,  Honkey Tonk Man, Nickolai Volkoff, Tito Santana, Gangrel, The Patriot, King Kaluha and Johnny Valiant.

2003 marked the first year Snatch Haggis was ranked within the PWI 500 at number 477, a ranking of the top wrestling talent in the world, to include independent wrestling stars and those around the world and on WWE television.

Snatch Haggis appeared on an episode of the television show, America's Most Wanted, supplying background wrestling footage for a piece being done about the attack on independent wrestler, Messiah.

Outside of the wrestling world, Snatch Haggis has successful relationship with vendors, Utilikilts (www.utilikilt.com) who make his clothing of choice and ring attire, and Afa Tasi (www.afatasi.com), Polynesian Tribal Gear.  Other close friends include Vince Hemingson, explorer and producer of the National Geographic documentaries, "Vanishing Tattoo" (www.vanishingtattoo.com).  He has found success in many other endeavors, ranging from bodybuilding contests, power lifting and Highland Games competitions, to successful dot com ventures and businesses.  All of these have combined to build the physical, emotional, and intellectual basis and work ethic that currently drives the success that has had and will continue to have in his wrestling and entertainment careers.
