Experience Statement

I grew up mostly in Charlotte N.C. I've been an athlete my whole life. I started playing football, and wrestling when I was about 5. I continued playing both sports all through high school. I attended college at University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Where I received a bachelors of science degree in health and exercise. While in college I began training and competing in MMA. I turned Pro in 2008. I achieved my dream and competed in the UFC from 2010-2012. While in the UFC I got married and started a family. I'm now the proud father of two beautiful children. One boy and one girl. Since retiring if I am now a full-time trainer and coach. Along with my many years as an athlete and almost 15 years in the fitness industry, I am also a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer. I love working with people and helping them achieve goals both in and out of the gym!
