What is this? 4th Degree Purple Belt
my rank
"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength"

I am a Purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under Carlson Gracie Jr black belt Clint Crabtree. I have studied Jiu-jitsu since October of 2005 and have competed or coached wrestling since 1995. I teach chemistry and biology at Portage Central High School and have been solidifying my MMA game under the tutelage of Amir Khillah at Lightning Kicks since 2010.

I approach fighting with a very respectful but focused demeanor. I can often be found joking around with fans shortly before and after his competitions. Though a competitor to the core, I place sportsmanship above all else. My pride and determination can be seen in my aggressiveness and relentlessness, both of which have earned me numerous Fight of the Night awards.

A father of two, I believe it is important to be a great example for children. When I’m not training or competing, I can be found coaching my high school wrestling team, teaching martial arts to elementary school students, or spending time with my son and daughter.
