In life you have choices and opportunities, you have vision and results. How you motivate your objectives is what it all comes down to. Coming from a single parent environment, I was forced to make decisions that most children would not have to make. Not all of them were the correct ones. However, the choices I made gave me guidance and allowed me to be my own man at a young age.Growing up in a split family, one half living in California and the other half from Florida, I realized at a young age that I was not living the “American dream.” In and out of the Justice system was hardly the right choice, I was literally a product of my environment. However, I saw the light and realized that the impossibility can become reality.

We may not all come from a perfect background, but we all have choice. I had my first street fight at age 10 then multiple fights later by the age 19. I finally got off the streets and showcased my ability in boxing at age 21. I went 8-0-1 fighting as an amateur in Fort LauderdaleFlorida, back when VHS tapes was the novelty of my stardom, and plenty of bar fights to pay for bar tabs and respect. At age 31 I stepped into a jiu jitsu cage and tried my skills in a sport that I was notfamiliar with. With the direction of Coach CheweyYabarra from Modesto Power, I was on my way to the Grapplers Quest World Championship in Vegas, wearing my coaches shirt that said “Don’t Lose.” I entered the tournament, at a weight class at 170 and was to compete against the Marine Corp Fight Team, which, by the way, I was the only one that stepped into the ring to fight them. I took Gold and became a World Champion. I then moved on to dominate in the Central Valley Classic in California. I hadback-to-back championships until being disqualified for a neck crank, but in reality my hooks were in.

I went on to compete in MMA for many years going undefeated until my last fight at age 40. I lost my belt in Hawaii. My buddy Vance took it. From growing up in the streets and being a punk at a young age, I learned from my mistakes and experienced incredible accomplishments throughout my life.
