Fighter Biography

When and why did you start training for fighting?  I started January 2003. I couldn't play soccer anymore due too to many injuries so I took a grappling class to fall back on my wrestling background to stay active. Went to a fight and was convinced that I could beat the guy fighting in the main event so I took a dare from my best friend to put up or shut up and here I am.

What ranks and titles do you hold? USMMAA Middleweight Champion.

Do you have any heroes? Ted Runci

What is your favorite technique? Knocking people out.

What does it mean for you to fight in the WEC?  It means I'm in a group of athletes who are considered the best in the world at what they do which makes all the hard work and sacrifices worth it. I have the best and most rewarding job in the world.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn?  One year of college.

What was your job before you started fighting? Construction
