The Story
After getting manhandled by an older kid, my old man took me to a martial arts gym. It was through training that my passion for movement, hard work, and personal growth was sparked. A 28-year journey of self-discovery began, culminating in success as an NCAA All-American wrestler and as a professional mixed martial artist.
​
However, it wasn’t all sunshine (pun intended). In my athletic pursuit, I racked up enough "career-ending" injuries to bench an entire roster. Every time I clawed my way back to competition, another setback landed me back on the operating table. Determined to continue chasing my dreams, I sought mentorship from leading experts in physical preparation and recovery. Through the process of rebuilding myself, I learned the power of taking ownership of my performance and well-being. Along the way, I earned a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science and became an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, allowing me to share this empowerment with others.
Since retiring from competition, I have found my purpose becoming the guide for others that I once needed.
