I am a graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette yet I still chose to make my way on the warrior path as a Professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter. In my life I took my own path and I am proud that I was never swayed or pulled by public opinion or cultural norms that tell our generation how to live and how to be. I joined the military at 18 and served my country for 5 years. When I got out I traveled the world fighting and training in Brazil, Thailand, Japan and Europe. I have seen and done many many things for a 30 year old man. I am currently employed only as a professional fighter and fight coach, I am available for private lessons in the lafayette area and seminars. I also teach and train many friends in the beautiful arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai and American Wrestling. I plan on riding the fight game to the top and crushing people all the way up the ladder to represent Jiu-Jitsu and most of all my master Rodrigo Medeiros and the Carlson Gracie system and for all my family, friends and students down in the Deep South (Lafayette and Breaux Bridge Louisiana 4 Life). I teach and train many fighters around the country and I am affiliated with a 14,000 square foot Boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA gym in Baton Rouge, Louisiana called Gladiators Academy (www.gladiatorsacademy.com). I also am pursuing further educational goals as I continue with my education in hopes of earning an MBA and eventually a doctorate so that I can one day achieve another goal of mine and be a college professor. I believe in a modern day warrior code to life. I push myself far beyond what most people are capable of and I excel at everything because my philosophy is that life is too short and you only have one shot to turn your dreams into reality. I am fighting to win the battle on all fronts and come out ahead in the end despite the adversity and sacrifices. My overall goal is to win it all in the end !!! Peace in the middle east. I want to dedicate my life and all of my success to my greatest and unequaled asset in the world, my wife Mamie Lee. I love you, you are my true inspiration on this journey. I am also affiliated with Rodrigo Medeiros' and Julio Fernandez's BJJ Revolution Team, Revolution Dojo of Houston, Three Pillars Jiu-Jitsu of Clute TX, Cajun Karate and Jiu-Jitsu of Lafayette LA, Gladiators Academy of Slidell LA, Blacklist Jiu-Jitsu of Lockport LA and Remix MMA of Biloxi MS. I currently train with such great fighters as Rich Clementi, Alan Belcher, Yves Edwards, Kyle Bradley, JC Pennington, Matt Brown, Micah Lopez, Travis Olinde, Chris Salinas, Derrick Hood, Leigh Wright, Doug Fornet, Andrew Sall, Ben Christonis, Mark Dubrovich, John Poole, Marc Leblanc and Brock Kerry. I appreciate all of the guys and love them all. I want to thank my sponsors Xtreme Nutrition of Lafayette for all my suppliments, Manto Fight (www.mantofight.com) for all my fighting gear, Ouano International (www.ouano.com) for all my Jiu-Jitsu gear, Glideboxx (www.glideboxx.com) for their products and to Assassin Athletics (www.assassinathletics.com) for thier gear and support. I want to say Thank you to my real life Mr. Miyagi in my Jiu-Jitsu master Rodrigo Medeiros who came into my life and gave me lessons I could not afford, knowledge I could not fathom and respect I did not earn, you will always be my master and inspiration in fighting and in life and I will forever be indebted to you until the end of my days. I want to say thank you to my boxing coach James Georgetown who has been the source of great inspiration for me in my life and in my training. Mr Goergetown's rise from a difficult past to become the premier boxing trainer in the south is something that defies all the odds and is what legends are made of. I am honored and thankful to be a boxer, protege and student of such an amzing person who teaches me lessons both inside and outside of the ring. James it is truely an honor and a privelege to have you in my corner. I would also like to thank all the guys at Red's Boxing (Chad Broussard, Jared Leblanc, Mason and Heath). My personal trainer at Red's is Strength and Conditioning Coach Robbie Adams who has changed my fighting and my life, if you are not working with him quit waisting your time and get started. Peace, TimGLADIATORS ACADEMY "COME GET WRECKED !!!
