I started training Jiu Jitsu Muay Thai and Crossfit in 2007 at The Academy in Portland Maine under Jay Jack. I received my blue belt and had my first amateur MMA fight under the tutelage of Jay.
When the recession hit in 2009 I decided to go all-in and move out west to Las Vegas NV where I trained and fought professional MMA under some of the most legendary coaches in the sport receiving my purple belt from Ricardo Cavalcanti (Carlson Gracie) brown belt from Fredson Paixao (Osvaldo Alves) and black belt in 2017 from Alexandre Almeida endorsed by Vinny Magalhaes because Almeida had some technical issues with the IBJJF.
Thanks to having the opportunity of training under so many great minds of the sport my Jiu Jitsu game and teaching style is very diverse. I truly believe that Jiu Jitsu is first and foremost the best martial art for self defense when taught with the old school mentality of preparing for strikes while grappling. I've witnessed first hand how sport Jiu Jitsu has evolved over the last 15 years and I love learning and adapting both my game and teaching style to keep up to date with the latest techniques and concepts.
When you train with me you can expect to learn a colorful variety of techniques including fundamentals self defense leg attacks lapel guard systems and much much more! Thank you for the opportunity to spread my life's work around the world. I hope you enjoy!
