I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & submission wrestling since 2007. Like a lot of people, I was first exposed to the art of BJJ via watching UFC1 (I was just late to the party as it was 11 years after the fact while I was deployed to Afghanistan). I fell in love immediately, and during my years training I’ve traveled the world to both train and compete. I began teaching full time shortly after receiving my blackbelt in 2018 .

My Jiu-Jitsu lineage is M. Maeda > C. Gracie > H. Gracie > Rolls Gracie > Romero Cavalcanti > Fabio Gurgel > Demian Maia > Rafael Domingos > Patchez Childers
