The sport of wrestling, an incredible inner drive, along with a grandfather who was both caring and overbearing, all helped Roman to stay on the right path to not only survive an upbringing in South Tucson, but to thrive and have the success he has attained.
He stayed disciplined and focused and overcame a lot to not only win two national titles, but he was also the first person in his family to go to and graduate from college.
