=== Culture Shock Wrestling (2002-2015) ===
In 2002, Lector joined Culture Shock Wrestling (which was known as Hardcore Pro Wrestling at the time) and won the Extreme Championship in his debut match, defeating Rick Ruckus. During his stay, he also went on to defeat Scotty Rayz and win the Light-Heavyweight Championship. In 2005, he teamed up with J.T. Angel to defeat The Beast Brigade and win the Tag-Team Championship. By winning this third unique title, he became one of only a handful of CSW Triple Crown winners. He left the company in 2005, with the kayfabe reason being military service.
In February 2011, Baron von Lector rejoined Culture Shock Wrestling, defeating Chris Corbin in his return match. After a short run as Super Ninja Gai and teaming with Nathan Beast as Super Ninja Beast, he became one of the founding members of The FIST, a stable of mid-carders. As a member, he won the CSW Tag Team Championship a second time as a member of The FIST, defending the title with various combinations of the group (including Victor Cru, Muggs O'Malley, and D.J. Durst) while utilizing the "Freebird Rule".
After the disbandment of The FIST, Lector teamed with former FIST member Muggs O'Malley. The two never met the level of success they had as stable-mates, failing to win the CSW Tag-Team Championship.
Near the end of his CSW run, Lector was phased out from in-ring competition and became Muggs O'Malley's manager until he completely retired retired from the company at the end of 2015.
From 2004 to 2015, Lector went a period of over 4,100 days (exact number unknown) without being pinned in one-on-one competition. After eleven years, Lector took his first pinfall defeat at the hands of Lane Smart.
=== Impact Pro Wrestling (2022-present) ===
On October 22, 2022, seven years after his last match, Lector was a surprise entrant in the Impact Pro Helloween Battle Royale. He entered the match at #8 and lasted until the final four combatants before being thrown from the ring by Mike Jacobs. The following month at Impact Pro's Murray Callaway Memorial Cup Tag-Team Tournament, he teamed with former FIST teammate Cali Man (formerly known as Cali Kid). The pairing was unsuccessful as they lost in the first round to The Gulf Coast Regulators.
On January 21, 2023 at Awakened, Lector teamed with Cali Man's (storyline) biological son, Kelly Klark, in an 8-man/4-team match. The team of Shaun Lake and Mike Jacobs was victorious in this match with the latter member of the team pinning Lector's partner, Kelly Klark.
At Impact Pro's next event, Aftermath, "The Berlin Brawler" competed against "Evil" Chuck Diamond in a Street Fight for Diamond's IPW Extreme Championship. Lector failed to win his first piece of IPW gold as he was defeated by Evil Chuck, taking the pinfall loss after a frog-splash by Diamond on top of a ladder that was stacked upon Lector.
At the 3rd annual Murray Callaway Memorial Cup event on August 26, 2023, Lector made two appearances. As the ringside bodyguard of Cali Man, he helped his employer retain the IPW Heavyweight Championship against Samuel Pendragon, being a huge thorn in the side of the challenger. Later that night, he participated in an Extreme Rules Battle Royale, entering the match as #4 and quickly being eliminated before #5 made it to the ring by "Big Country" Corrie Gibson. At 24-seconds, this set a company record for the shortest time in the ring for all Battle Royale matches.
