If you've been to an independent wrestling show (and especially a deathmatch wrestling show), there's a good chance that you've seen Germ T. Ripper. Known for his memorable outfits and life-loving demeanor, Germ is just a pleasant person to be around.

In this interview, we'll discuss Germ's life of performing in front of a crowd: be it as a member of the Chicago punk rock scene, stand up comedy, and even life as an occasional podcaster and ring announcer.

Germ is also known for his positivity and motivation to help those with addiction problems. A man that has conquered his own demons, Germ takes pride in his sobriety and helping others as well and we'll discuss his journey of sobriety as well as motivating others.
