My Story
With 16 years of training experience, I have a diverse background in martial arts including Boxing, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Wrestling, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and even Muay Boran during my time overseas. I trained under the team at AUMMA for 5 years, before moving to Georgia in 2013 where I trained and worked at Independent MMA and Fitness for a year.
In 2016, I joined the US Navy as a Navy Diver and taught Combat Jiu-Jitsu and Judo aboard the USS Carl Vinson. After completing my service, I returned to AUMMA in 2018, where I spent the next 5 years instructing Judo, Kickboxing, and Combat classes.
Throughout my career, I've competed in numerous BJJ tournaments across the United States, and more recently, in Judo competitions. My experience allows me to bring a well-rounded, battle-tested perspective to every class I teach.
