Bio
I am a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt under Ivan Sakamoto. In 2006, I started training while stationed on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. While I was there, I was promoted to blue belt by Jerry Moreno out of New Bern, North Carolina. In 2012, I transferred to Roanoke, Virginia, and I was promoted to purple and brown belt by Dennis Hayes. I left there in 2015 to Okinawa, Japan, and was promoted to black belt by Ivan Sakamoto in 2016. I currently live in Virginia.
