Bio
Started training inMay of 2008 at a Pedro Sauer affiliate in Mobile Alabama under direct instruction from Pat Langan at Midtown Jiu Jitsu with tutelage from Allen Hopkins. Attained the rank of blue belt in December of 2009 direct from Pedro Sauer at a Team Hopkins yearly event. Work moved me to Birmingham, AL in 2010 and I continued training with Chris Mize also an affiliate of Pedro Sauer where I have transferred to Ned since receiving all belts through black from Pedro Sauer. We have also always been affiliated with Erik Paulson and subsequently have moved solely to Erik Paulson's gi program for about 4 years now. I have attended seminars for training with Rickson, Relson, Rener, Ryron, and many other top names in the jiu jitsu world including Pedro Sauer, Erik Paulson and all of the top affiliate instructors I have had and continue to have access to.
