A recent photo. I’m in black helping my friend and black belt Rick Perez (far right) promote his students.

I’m far left. Allan Goes next to me. Kevin in middle being promoted. I ran belt promotions for Allan for over a decade.

Another belt promotion for Brad. I’m on right. Allan Goes on left.

Top: Damien’s promotion from about 8 years ago. Allan Goes and I are in middle and white gis. Bottom: Damien’s recent promotion by Rick Perez. I’m in black gi.

Screenshot from Allan Goes’ Facebook where he refers to me and two other black belts as “Goes Jiu Jitsu Club teachers.” I’m pictured far left.

Another screenshot from Allan Goes’s Facebook. I’m middle right next to Allan. He refers to me by my name, Ben, in the caption.

Allan Goes Facebook screenshot. I’m front row, four from the right. The caption indicated that we had just held a a belt grading.
