I am a third degree black belt under Rodrigo Pinheiro. I have trained exclusively under Rodrigo through every rank at his headquarters in San Antonio. I also have extensive experience training in Washington state (Marcelo Alonso affiliate in Tacoma) and several years in Pensacola Florida. I have competed all over North and South America. I have coached and instructed some of the best and most accomplished BJJ athletes in the world. Currently, I am the head instructor at Kraken Jiu Jitsu in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
