While competing at York College, he was a Team Captain, a 4-year starter, 2x Conference Runner-Up, & member of teams consistently ranked in the Top 25 in the Nation in the NCAA Division III.

After college, Coach Custer moved to Florida and started a career in finance where he used the same tenacity and work ethic that he learned on the wrestling mat to excel in business.

In 2024, Coach Custer changed careers, becoming a full-time educator at Viera High School.

Under Coach Custer’s tutelage, the wrestling programs have built a level of consistency, with both the boys and girls programs now ranked among the top teams in the state of Florida.

In 2022, Coach Custer established the Viera Hammers Wrestling Club with the goal of creating an environment where all student athletes will learn, grow, and achieve success both on and off the mat. This vision continues today and the program continues to grow throughout the community.

“My goal for each student-athlete who wrestles at Viera is to ensure they walk away with life skills that will help them long after their competition days are over.”
– Coach Custer
