Bio
Originally started MMA in 2006-2007 at MRJJA in Rochester, MN. Trained periodically abroad in the UK 2007. 2008 trained at Warrior's Cove, Minneapolis MN—given 3 stripes by Coach Arnebeck—and the RCTC Martial Arts club under Steve Bein. Moved to Aus, trained at UCMMA under Coach Regan Neoh who was then part of the Will-Machado affiliation 2009-2010 - 4 stripe white belt. Some no-gi training in Victoria, BC in 2017/2018 at Kaiser BJJ. Basically, I trained where I could while moving around the world from the ages of 17-23 I took a 12-13yr hiatus to pursue other sports, particularly boxing. I started back at no-gi grappling as my primary pursuit in Jan 2024 (35yrs Old) primarily at 10th Planet Hobart, but now rotate between local gyms due to work commitments.
