Personal Life
Tuft is married to Priscilla Tuft; they have one daughter, Mia. He is good friends with fellow wrestler Curt Hawkins.
On January 14, 2010, Tuft was involved in an incident on an airplane in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Minutes before takeoff, he complained to the flight crew that he observed strange movement on the flaps of the wings, and caused panic among other passengers by claiming that the plane was unsafe. He demanded to be de-boarded, and stated that "if anyone else on the plane doesn't want to die then they should get off the plane too". The pilot decided not to take any chances with him disrupting the flight or distressing the passengers, so they returned to the terminal and escorted him off the plane. The flight was then delayed, which annoyed many WWE employees.
After his retirement from wrestling, Tuft announced in November 2012 that he would be undergoing a digital marketing initiative called "Local Promoter 2.0.", which is designed to give independent wrestling promoters, MMA promoters, and general fight promoters more information to work with to specifically target potential customers.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Fine art is the subtlest, the most seductive, the most effective instrument of moral propaganda in the world, excepting only the example of personal conduct; and I waive even this exception in favor of the art of the stage, because it works by exhibiting examples of personal conduct made intelligible and moving to crowds of unobservant unreflecting people to whom real life means nothing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Take a timber
That you shall find lies in the cellar, charred
Among the raspberries, and hew and shape it
For a doorsill or other corner piece
In a new cottage on the ancient spot.
The life is not yet all gone out of it.
And come and make your summer dwelling here....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
