| I don't remember the exact date of this promotion but the year was 2012. This was a fun belt. Discovered the globetrotters and met Christian in 2013 while a Brown Belt in Copenhagen, where it all began. Received 4 stripes before promotion to Black Belt. My instructor wanted to promote me at 2 stripes but figured it would be better to wait another 2 stirpes which I was ok with. | ||||

| started my training with an MMA NHB team in CT from 2004 to about 2007 and was a white belt till 2009, when I switched over to bjj due to change of work. I had 2 pro fights which was cool, can still be found on sherdog. I will consider that time fighting mma as white belt status. | ||||

I Had the pleasure of being in the bed right next to his in Maine 2018. Awesome person with some really fun JiuJitsu. He was one of the first BB I rolled with as a WB with less than 3 months. He’s one of the people that set the standard for how I expect higher belts to roll with lower belts.
