## Professional wrestling career
### Early career (1991-1999)

DeVito was trained by David Schultz and debuted in 1991.
In 1992, DeVito worked as an enhancement talent for WWF until 1997, losing to the likes of Mr. Perfect, Bam Bam Bigelow, Doink the Clown, Shawn Michaels, Phantasio and The Rock.
After leaving the company in 1997, he began working on the independent circuit. In the late-1990s, DeVito appeared with promotions in the Northeastern United States such as Jersey All Pro Wrestling and Northeast Wrestling.

### Extreme Championship Wrestling (1999–2000)

In 1999, DeVito joined Extreme Championship Wrestling as a part of a faction called "Da Baldies" with Angel, Vito Lograsso, P. N. News, Vic Grimes and Redd Dogg. The characteristics of Da Baldies were that of bald headed thugs. DeVito and Angel feuded with Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney, and then with New Jack. At ECW Guilty as Charged, Da Baldies were "hired" to attack the team of Christian York and Joey Matthews, as well as Justin Credible and Steve Corino. DeVito made his final appearances with ECW in December 2000, after which he wrestled sporadically on the independent circuit.

### Ring of Honor (2002–2005)

In April 2002, DeVito joined the nascent Ring of Honor promotion, where he formed a tag team with his long-time friend Loc known as the "Carnage Crew". The Carnage Crew was later expanded to include Masada, and then again to include Justin Credible. Credible left ROH in 2004, while Masada became a villain by betraying DeVito and Loc on May 22, 2004.
DeVito and Loc feuded with Special K, then with B. J. Whitmer and Dan Maff. After Maff left ROH, they began feuding with Whitmer and his new partner, Jimmy Jacobs. The Carnage Crew defeated Whitmer and Jacobs for the ROH Tag Team Championship on July 9, 2005, but lost it to Whitmer and Jacobs on July 23, 2005.
DeVito made his final appearances with Ring of Honor in September 2005.

### Late career (2005–present)

DeVito left Ring of Honor in June 2005 and went into semi-retirement, making occasional appearances on the independent circuit.
DeVito made two appearances with World Wrestling Entertainment (formerly the World Wrestling Federation) in mid-2006. On the June 20, 2006 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, DeVito appeared as Macho Libre (a parody reference to both Jack Black's titular character from the film Nacho Libre and "Macho Man" Randy Savage), losing to The Sandman in a squash match. On the July 4 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, DeVito reappeared as a faux preacher who verbally rallied against ECW until being attacked and chased from ringside by The Sandman.
