I was born and raised in southern California and was the third oldest of six. I have three sisters and two brothers. In early 1997, when I was 18, I left for the Army and joined as an infantryman where I attend Basic Training at Fort Benning, GA. That was the start to a very successful military career. I was able to travel all over the country as well as the world. I decided early on the I wanted to be the best soldier that I could be and I aspired to be an Airborne Ranger and that is exactly what I did. I also successfully graduated from these Army schools as well: Airborne school, Ranger Indoctrination Program, Air Assault school, Pre-Ranger Course, Ranger school, and Sniper school. I also had the opportunity to proudly served 3 tours in Iraq with some of the best men that the United States has to offer.

My military experience has made me a strong person both mentally and physically. Having completed so much during my military service, many of which were some of the hardest things that I have ever had to do; but I will say this... nothing was harder than loosing a soldier, a friend, a brother, and team mate. There is nothing harder than having to watch them die or to carry a casket onto a plane knowing that you will never see them again. I miss my brothers and only wish and hope for the best and pray for their families. I have dedicated my clothing company (Recon Fight Gear) to all my Fallen Brothers and to all those who have and will never return to their families because of their sacrifice. They will never be forgotten. The loss of my friends and brothers in arms have been an even bigger motivation to me in my mission to becoming a successful fighter. I am now and will always live my life for them.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been a fighter. Now after 10 years in the Army, I have finally devoted myself to training full time. I am in pursuit of my dream to me an elite Mixed Martial Arts fighter and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt World Champion.

Along with training full time as a fighter, I am also a personal trainer and conditioning coach for fighters. I have taken everything that I have learned over the past 10 years in the military and applied it to the way that I train my clients. I know that all my experiences has given me an edge that few others will be able to draw from. My work ethic, attention to detail, personal philosophy, drive, and motivation are what I feel allows me to excel where others don't.

I train with the best in the world at my school Team 3 Fight Academy, and the rest of the Checkmat team: Marcel Louzado and Lucas Leite and it shows in the way that I train and fight. I am very aggressive and hungry to succeed. I want to be a world champion! My training partners are instrumental in my success and are always showing me new ways to view the ever evolving game of Jiu Jitsu. See you on the mats!
