Well... I'm probably one of the most diverse people that you will ever meet. I joke about being the first half white kid, raised in my totally Mexican family, who lived in an all black neighborhood. That all sounds funny, but it's true. If that isn't diverse enough... I write poetry, still believe in that one love, served in the Marines, and train the greatest mixed martial arts team in the world, Miletich Fighting Systems. I'm the boxing coach for guys like Robbie Lawler, Jens Pulver, Spencer Fisher, Tim Sylvia, Matt Hughes, Pat Miletich, and the list of great fighters continues to grow. I know I will get some crap from the fighters when they find that stuff on the internet. It's all good though, because it's being real. I was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa. I'm just one of many many Pena's here in the area. Anyone who knows anything about boxing or fighting the the Midwest knows of my family, all thanks to my grandfather and legendary boxing trainer, Alvino Pena. I started training in boxing since I was four, and had my first match at the age of six. Being the grandson of Alvino Pena, one would say that we were all bread to fight. Although at times it was a very difficult legacy to live up to, I'm very proud of my family name. I really only have a couple of goals in life. I want to find that one partner to share life with, and I want to train as many world champions in boxing and mixed martial arts as possible (with God's blessing I have a few of those already). Most importantly, I want to continue to improve on being a better Christian man. Money is nice, but I'm provided for. Being around the world a couple of times, and being a part of some of the hottest VIP parties in the process has really grounded me in terms of what is really important to me. I know that I have been blessed, and I try not to take things for granted... Life is just so much more meaningful when you have someone that you can trust and share with. Jesus is a great person to start with.
