I started martial arts at age 14 after being bullied in school. I first trained in American karate in the goju-ryu system and received my black belt at age 17. I returned to martial arts after college at 22 training Brazilian jiu jitsu. I started Jiu jitsu with dreams of going into mma; but I fell in love with training, teaching, and competing in Jiu jitsu as its own art form. Jiu jitsu has improved my mental and physical health beyond comparison and I love to share what I gain through the art with others.
