June 2026 - I joined Anibal BJJ in Marietta, GA. I was bless with two stripes on my purple by Coach Fabio. His family runs the gym and his son Coach Felipe (blackbelt) is an artist on the mats. This family brings the true culture of Brazil to Atlanta and has a rich history in the art of BJJ. I'm starting to feel like my age and a lack of progress/promotion from all the gym changes over the last few years. I remain committed.

September of 2025 I moved to Las Vegas for work and Vegas was amazing. I joined Oasis BJJ and trained under Champion Vinny Magalhaes until I left in May of 2026. One of the most amazing gyms and training experiences I've ever had. I competed in a NAGA in Feb 2026 and won Gold in Gi but lost to Chris Olivio in No-gi. I wish i could have stayed longer.

I trained at both X3 West Midtown / North Marrietta as to stay loyal to Professor Jason Duncan who blessed me with my Blue and Purple Belt. X3 didn't have much of a competition team so I cross trained at Odyssey BJJ in Atlanta, GA and participated on their competition team. In 2025 I mostly trained at Odyssey BJJ under Coach Greg Sirico and Professor Brandon. I stopped going to X3 and seeing Professor Jason and solely trained at Odyssey until September of 2025.
