Started BJJ at age 14 in 2003 under Rigan Machado and the Machado family. First instructor was Keiser Girao.

After over nearly 1000 competition matches and 10 MMA fights(ammy), I have been blessed to live out my dream as a school owner with 2 academies in Pacific Northwest.

Currently I represent team FSBJJJ, Master Fabiano Scherner promoted me to 2nd degree black belt in 2022.

At age 36, I still compete at the world level and various superfight cards around the country.
