I've been in over 160 amateur, semi pro and professional matches between Grappling, Shootfighting, Boxing and NHB/MMA.
As an amateur these are some of my titles and awards.
As a Pro I have these accomplishments
All of my Shootfighting and MMA matches have been documented by
Full Contact Fighter Magazine. I think that I can carry over appeal to a wider audience of current and potential MMA enthusiasts in the place of the perception of who a fighter should be. I'm a guy who was over overweight/obese before my involvement with combat sports. I'm the same guy who worked 50 to 70 hours
a week for a big company but still finding the time and will to train hard. I'm not a smack talking badass. I begin every match with a smile
and a handshake, I end every match with respect for my opponent reguardless of the outcome. I'm having fun when I compete and
everyone who watches me can tell. When I've won against opponents who are bigger, stronger and much more aggressive, I feel I inspire
people to want to find out more about their own untapped potential.
Feel free to ask for me on
The Underground Forum which is part of the essential website of

In order to compete as often as I have, I have entered in as many grappling divisions as I can
qualify for to get the extra matches during the same event. At the 2001 NAGC run by the NAGA, I competed in 5 Advanced
divisions over the two days placing no worse than 3rd in each and winning at least one match by submission in each.
This means I welcomed the chance to compete upto 2 weight classes above my
own including the unlimited weight divisions. I have given up over 100 LBs of weight in competition as
well as years of experience. I have never competed in a Novice or Beginner division at any event.
I only have entered 3 tournaments as an Intermediate during 1999 before I reached my second year of training.
All of my other matches have been Advanced, Absolute, Open, Invite or Professional. In events that include
striking as well as grappling, I also have allowed myself to compete in many Superheavyweight or Heavyweight matchups
even when my weight would have qualified me into a lower division. I love to compete.
When I have come out on top in my matches I have used a wide variety of techniques:
footlocks, armbars, keylocks, wristlocks, hiplocks,jawlocks, chokes and even strikes.
I've never been DQ'd or assessed a foul in any of my over 160 matches. I conduct myself
with honor, integrity and when appropriate humor. I do this inside, outside, or even under t
he ring. In competition I have been able to win some of my matches with very little time remaining by submission.
When a fight goes the distance I never expect to deserve a decision or try to hold on for a scorecard win.
This way at looking at a match has allowed me to sometimes win over bigger, stronger, more experienced
opponents in dramatic fashion. I have submitted
my opponents using a variety of 11th hour submission techniques: Cross Ankle choke defense lock ( with only 9 seconds left),
Straight armbar with legs from scarfhold ( with 19 seconds left), Keylock with legs from scarfhold ( with less than 30 seconds left), Arm triangle ( with 4 seconds left), Straight ankle lock ( with 15 seconds left and again with under 30 seconds), Toe hold (once under 30 seconds remaining and once with about 20), KneeBar (3 seconds left), Armbar from guard with ( with 10 seconds left), and once a weird kind of ugly Muay Thai clinch deathgrip neckcrank/choke from the bottom of a north to south with 1 second left in a 10 minute shootfight.
If you read this far thank you very much.
Sponsors, competitors, managers, fans, school owners, everyone and anyone who can help me continue to grow and train in
this sport let me know what you think of my site. Also feel free to email if there is any way you think I can help you.
