ANSWER: I started training 11 years ago in Columbus, OH. I’ve always been aggressive growing up, even got kicked out of schools for fighting. When I was presented with the concept of training it was something I knew I really wanted to do.

ANSWER:  Wake up in the morning and go straight to the gym for whatever my first session is. After training I always try to help clean the mats and spend time with my trainers and team. Normally drive about an hour to my next location for more training. Then park it for either another training session or drive to another location to make something else happen in the day for training. I’ve always trained 2-4 times a day since I’ve started training.What ranks and titles have you held?LFA champion, brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu, 2X Pan American champion, 7X American National champion, 5X World medalist…the list goes on.Do you have any heroes?The Rock.
