So after a quarter of a century of existence, I truly believe I have found purpose. I have found an overwhelming passion for Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts. My dreams of being in the x-games and BMX videos have been traded for dreams of fighting in rings and cages across the world. I have been training MMA technique at Vicious MMA for a little over a year now and now training Gracie Jiu Jitsu with Gracie NEPA for about 9 months. I was promoted to the rank of blue belt by the legend Royce Gracie on June 8th, 2009.
I have a beautiful wife and we have an amazing son with another bundle on the way. I love my family with everything that I have. My wife and I dated for a little over 5 years before getting married on July 27th, 2008. She is the most amazing person in my life.
I owe so much to my coaches and training partners. We learn so much from each other. Thank you to: Master John Powell, Scott Diggs, Grant Fillman, Jeff Reese, Mr. Jamal Neismith, Lewis "The Beast" Rumsey, Kyle "Ton's Of Fun" Weaver, Andrew "Gumby" Widdersheim, Shane "The Lumberjack" Darby, John Kraynak, Josh "Florida Boy" Aarons, John Flock, Greg Wolfe, Drew, Crazy Kyle, John Stahl, Phil, The Blossburg Crew, and whoever else will set foot onto my path.
I have some of the greatest friends too. Friendship to me means damn near as much as family. Kenny, Anthony, Angie, Cory, and Aaron are my brothers and sister. I love you guys. And the rest of you hold it down just as hard. Especially ALTOONA.
My amateur fight record is 2-2-0.
06/21/2008 victory over Joe Soto TKO 0:27 of round 3.
09/13/2008 loss to James Vanderbeek Unanimous Judges decision.
