Maximus Grier

Maxwell William Grier (born April 1st, 1993), better known by his ring name Maximus Grier, is an American professional wrestler, businessman, philanthropist, and entrepreneur currently signed to REVOLT! Pro Combat where he competes in their Welterweight Division. He is also the founder and the CEO of Maximus Incorporated, as well as an Series A investor into REVOLT! Pro Combat.

Early life
Grier was born on April 1st, 1993 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is the second child born to a 35 year old meat butcherer, named Jonathan Ford, and the first second of 32 year old Carol Grier. Grier is of Filipino and Italian descent on his mother's side, with English on his father's side. He is the estranged younger brother of fellow professional wrestler, Lars Grier. As a child, his father was an alcoholic and at a young age, had to jump around between different jobs in order to survive and make money for his family. While his brother Lars resorted to illegal activities to make money, Maxwell never did the sort and eventually graduated High School and left home at age 17 to "start a new chapter." He moved to New York City, New York, where he attended and graduated from New York University, obtaining a master's degree in Economics.

Entrepreneurship, Maximus Incorporated and Wealth (2014 - Present)
After obtaining his master's degree, Grier went on to found his own start-up company, Maximus Incorporated, which focuses on selling items of "class, wealth, and style" as the slogan says. This includes products such as perfumes, clothing designs, modern architecture and technological items. Using the skills he had learnt, Grier had managed to gain success with his expensive yet quality products, receiving critical acclaim across the Americas for his business savvy and "rags to riches" story. As of 2018, Maximus Incorporated is a thriving business that continues to operate to this day under the guidance of Grier as CEO and founder of the company.

Early Career; American independent circuit (January 2017 - December 2017)
In an interview with TIME Magazine in 2016, Grier stated on the record that he wished to become "one of the most influential people on the planet today" by "creating a legacy that will be remembered for years to come." Also in that interview, Grier would make a comment: "Good things will come for Maximus Incorporated and my brand. There will be surprises along this road, and one is coming up extremely soon." It was reported then a few days later that Grier would be undertaking training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as Judo. In just a few short months, Grier had become black belts in both martial arts, before it was then reported that Grier had undergone training for professional wrestling. Maxwell Grier then debuted on January of 2017, under the ring name Maximus Grier, in a move that shocked both fans of professional wrestling and businessmen alike. For the next few months, Grier would have work less and less hours at his own company and eventually entrusted acting-CEO to one of his closest advisors as he became increasingly swamped with bookings from independent wrestling promotion.

REVOLT! Pro Combat (December 2017 - present)
A few months later, Maximus Incorporated's website announced that Grier had signed a high-paying contract with start-up professional wrestling company, REVOLT! Pro Combat. He had also become an Series A investor of the company, becoming one of the company's biggest backers. It was announced that he would compete under his current ring name, working within the Welterweight division of the company.

Other media
Being a businessman, Grier has appeared on multiple forms of media, including various magazines after his breakout success as CEO of Maximus Incorporated. He has been featured on Forbes, Wired, Entrepreneur, The Economist, as well as other non-business magazines such as GQ and TIME. He also appeared on the Today Show as well as BBC Radio 1. After signing with REVOLT! Pro Combat, he was featured on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated, showing an interview that explained his change from his business lifestyle to professional wrestling, stating: "I want to create my legacy, and REVOLT! is only the first step in something greater."
