About Me:

 
 
Born and raised in central New Jersey where I resided for most of my life with 3 younger brothers is where my competitive attitude began. As a child I was involved in every sport that my parents made available to me, from BMX, Motocross, Football, Baseball, and Golf. After entering Middle School, I was introduced to wrestling in a gym class where I found my love for wrestling. Though the years my love for wrestling grew, I started to look for outside teams to have the ability to compete all year round. After graduation of Middle School, I was introduced into lacrosse were I received my Varsity letter after my freshman year.  In my sophomore year, I helped lead my team to the state championships with 30 goals during the season. Upon graduation from high school I decided to join the United States Navy, where I have traveled the world 3 times. Having been in the Navy now 7 years, I have advanced through the ranks faster than most.  As a Second Class Petty Officer in the Navy, I’m responsible for 30 junior sailors to include there physical readiness, basic military training, and basic combative. While severing my second tour in the Navy, is where Jiu Jitsu was introduced to me and like wrestling, I fell in love with it. Just after a month of training I started to compete and have never stopped.
