When and why did you start training for fighting? 2007 – I wanted to be the best fighter in the world.

What professional titles have you held? Four local titles, as well as the RFA (now LFA) Middleweight title.

Any belts / ranks in grappling disciplines? Black Belt in BJJ

Any belts / ranks in striking disciplines? Black Belt in Roufusport Kickboxing

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Any fight I lost, because obviously I didn’t prepare correctly. 

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Any of my teammates, but I do enjoy watching Kid Yamamoto highlights from back in the day. R.I.P.

What was your job before you started fighting? Supervisor in a shipping and receiving warehouse

Personal Life / Background: I’ve lived a rich full life so far. The longest I ever lived anywhere was on a horse farm in WI. During this time, I went to school in the inner city (the King center was on the block next to us) and was in the jazz band. After a brief time in college to be a Music Teacher, I started fighting. I’m married and have one son, two dogs and a cat.
