I'm just an ordinary guy who loves to train. I work as an accountant where I have been sitting at a desk doing nothing with my life for the past 10 years. My 12 year old son started training about 2 years ago and I eventually wanted to give it a shot thinking it would keep him motivated. I have not had any previous experiences with martial arts or wrestling, so everything is entirely new to me. I train at Crest BJJ in Hampstead, NC a minimum of 2 days a week during the school year. I try to get as many classes as possible during the summer when I do not have to get the kids ready for school. Crest has been a blessing to my family and I. I am typically pretty introverted and this has gotten me a bit more comfortable around people. The support from the community at Crest is second to none. What more can I say? I love it! My youngest daughter just started training in December 2023 so its been fun watching her learn and helping her along the way. Having 2 different children who train as well has opened up the opportunity for me to help out with the kids classes. I feel like I learn a ton by being an assistant to the coaches in the kids classes because I get a close up view of the techniques and then get to articulate my understanding to the children. Those kids are beasts! I wish I had found BJJ when I was their age, or even 10 years ago would have been nice. I am getting up there in age. Probably one of the older guys at our gym, but that doesn't deter me from showing up. I'm certainly not the biggest, strongest, most aggressive, or skilled guy on the mats, but I will continue to show up, learn, and give it my best. I owe that to myself and my training partners who have invested so much time in me. That's all i have to say for now. I am an open book if you wanna know more just ask!
