Biography [edit]

Monson was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he also grew up for most of his childhood. His father was in the United States military and the young Monson moved to where his father was stationed in Hamburg, Germany, and lived there for three years as a boy. Monson attended Timberline High School, where he wrestled and was extremely competitive, becoming bulimic to make weight for his matches. Monson continued as a Division I wrestler at Oregon State University and at the University of Illinois, and was a Pac-10 champion.[2] He also competed at senior level at USA Wrestling events for a number of years.[citation needed]

Monson is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and a two-time Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Champion. He is a mixed martial arts fighter and has had three professional boxing bouts. His professional boxing record is two wins and one draw.

Monson is considered to be one of the world's top submission grapplers. He is a multiple event winner at NAGA, Grapplers Quest and FILA, among other submission tournaments.[3] He is nicknamed "The Snowman" for his performance at the 1999 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championship. The Brazilian fighters at the tournament gave him the nickname because he came in as an unknown, but beat four Brazilians in a row to win the 88-98 kilogram weight class. As he went along in the tournament and continued to beat his opponents, they said he was like a snowball (white, compact, rolling and getting bigger and stronger as the tournament went on).[4]

Monson is known for his anarchist views and affiliations. In an interview, he explained, "I am an anarchist, someone who would like to do away with all class hierarchy in society and the institutions that promote this inequality." [5] He correspondingly receives sponsorship from AK Press and has several anarchist symbols tattooed on his body. In solidarity, Monson is a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (Wobblies).[6]

Monson has a Bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Illinois and also a Master's Degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he was the assistant coach of the wrestling team . For a few years he worked as a mental health professional, both in a crisis evaluation role for Cascade Mental Health in Lewis County, Washington, as well as a child/family counselor. He has had such major success in Abu Dhabi and other MMA shows that he left the mental health profession to devote himself full-time to mixed martial arts.

A warrant was issued by a Thurston County Superior Court Judge [21] after pictures of Monson committing the crime were printed in ESPN magazine.[22]
