ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI WRESTLING FOUNDATION

We exist because, until 2020, Mississippi was the only state in the United States that did not host a high school wrestling season.  Our mission is to make Mississippi a better place by growing the sport of wrestling at every level, from youth to college.  Journey with us to see just how that is happening.

David lives in Vancleave, MS with his wife, Kristi, and boys, Will and Mason.  They have been residents of Mississippi for 6 years and are active each year in their community's sports leagues.  David started wrestling as a child and continued into adulthood, training in both the USA and Germany.  He has coached Wrestling, Football, Basketball, and Baseball.  David and his family really enjoy being a part of the Mississippi Wrestling Foundation because they get to help build a program that offers opportunities to the community and student athletes that they wouldn't have had without wrestling.
