Active competitor in the professional Jiu Jitsu grappling scene (expert/advanced)
I am a jiu jitsu nerd with a love of continuous personal growth. I found jiu jitsu while reading a book where Marcelo Garcia was interviewed. He described jiu jitsu as “human chess,” and I was sold. The rest is history, I caught the bug and eventually started competing. I have been an active competitor since 2018 and I am currently and active competitor in the ADCC and EBI professional circuits.
After graduating high school, I suffered from a lot of internal conflict and a lack of meaning in life. By the grace of God, I found jiu-jitsu, which gave me something to work on daily continuously and a sense of community and belonging.
My purpose to coach is to share my love for jiu jitsu and the happiness, sense of purpose, and sense of belonging it’s given me. I love to help students achieve their personal goals, as I am constantly trying to achieve my own.
