Brown belt out of The Jungle MMA & Fitness located in Orlando, Florida. I began training at 15 in Chicago. Originally, I was training with Andre Madiz (then a brown belt, but is now a Carlson Gracie Jr black belt and instructor at Carlson Gracie HQ) at Bridgeport Boxing Club. After my first competition, I began to train in the gi at Gracie Barra The Loop under Beto Baros. Gracie Barra The Loop was purchased by the Redzovics, and in 2012 I earned my blue belt before leaving Chicago to attend undergraduate in Tampa, Florida. During my freshmen year of undergrad, money was sparse. I exchanged labor for training at various Tampa academies, and once I was able to afford a car, I began training under Eduardo De Lima at Gracie Barra Clearwater. In 2014, I switched academies to train at Ybor City Jiu Jitsu Club under Joey Best (Nick Gregoriades Black Belt) where I earned my purple belt in 2015. Upon undergrad graduation, I moved to Orlando, Florida where I began training at The Jungle MMA & Fitness and was promoted to brown belt in 2018. I am currently an active Central Florida referee for various organizations and I am a gi instructor at The Jungle.
