I started my grappling journey in 2008 under the legendary Pat “Hawk” Hardy and the Ebarb Bros at Texas Punishment Crew. I moved to DFW in 2012, trained at several different schools. In 2020, BJJ became a family affair when my wife Cheryl started training. I competed a lot at blue, purple, and some at brown. I received my black belt in May of 2022 from my professor, Roberto Kaelin.
