About Me

I'm just a Jersey Boy stuck in Florida. I moved and traveled around the country a lot; lived in NJ, Michigan and Tennessee as well. I have been in Corporate America since I was 20 and I've hit a cross-road in my life.I am thinking about the Military or Law Enforcement for a change of pace. There is just that little problem of having a real well-paid career to leave, lol.Fighting (MMA) is a huge interest. I just need to figure a way to balance my training and work schedule. Probably the biggest thing I will miss when I leave FL is the team and my coach. They have been real good to me and under Ross' tutelage and if I can get my training schedule together, I have no doubt I can fight as a pro some day.I just became an Uncle and I want the wife, kids, pets, etc. Yet my best attempts to live a normal life seem to come up short. I guess I have to accept that I'm kinda rough around the edges. I'm an adrenaline junkie and like life on the edge, but I'm getting older now, and thankfully, wiser. Just need to meet the right lady now...Plain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider

My Interests

I enjoy training in Vale Tudo (MMA)and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; I train under Master Ross Kellin. I played football, wrestled, threw shot and discus in track, played rugby, and powerlifted in the past. Athletics are a part of who I am and I will always be in some kind of sport.Other than that, drinking a few social beers and watching a fight, football game, or a Rugby match.Going out to dinner, movies, riding sport bikes, fishing, hunting, mountain biking, hiking, sunning myself at the beach, and I am always working out at the gym.When I am relaxing it's usually w/my boerboel, Thor! I am devoted to my family & friends and love spending time with them.

The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; ...

Impossible

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they have been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact; ...
