Andrew has next to no pictures of himself, the pictures we do have, we force him to take, let alone have belted pictures of him training that will satisfy critics.
Andrew was previously ranked by being by Mike Benjamin, and then Glen Flamand. Andrew has subbed me almost every week since I moved to train with him in 2019 and has always helped me improve. Feel free to downvote. I'll keep training and making friends along the way.

Andrew Green closed his Beltchecker profile? I have this note from my brown belt vote on your profile: "Promoting instructor with claimed promotion directly to BB without any other prior BJJ experience under the tutelage of a BJJ BB for less than a year with one class a week (and has not passed through the colored belts before black)". So unless you've changed who promoted you and it was someone else, I would like to see evidence of AG being in BJJ for years before BB.

Standard way of writing lineage is with your own promoting instructor last, not first. Not affecting my vote, but you might want to change anyways.

In checking your profile, I happen to have met Chris Wellstood in a non-bjj way. At UFC 194 in Vegas, I sat next to him for the Aldo McGregor card! He was there in support of Leonardo Santos who was fighting Kevin Lee, he was very cool to talk to.
