You must login before viewing my schools.

I am a married man & work full time as a manager for a local grocery store. I have had one sanctioned amateur fight for the Torment Promotion in the Nebraska/Iowa Region. I still plan on fighting from time to time. However, I am looking to get into the commentating/announcing/promoter/agent side of the game.


TRAINING: The bulk of my training is done with John 'The Rock' Chapman. An amateur fighter out of Omaha that trains in Kajukembo. I have also worked with a pro fighter, based out of Omaha, named Sean Westbrook.

I received boxing lessons from a local Golden Glove winner named Joe Salcedo (RIP) from the time I was eight years old till he was diagnosed with alzheimers just a few years later. I wrestled in middle school, and kept myself in shape throughout high school with football and powerlifting. I have no black belts, yellow belts, red belts, etc. I am just a straight forward fighter with technique picked up from the people I've trained with.

I can honestly say that I don't see myself fighting at the pro level. I enjoy fighting for recreation, but don't know that I could make a career out of it. However, I would love to sign on somewhere as a commentator or announcer or writer or help book fights. I really enjoy being involved with the behind the scenes work. I would love to be an agent as well.
My ULTIMATE GOAL would be to become a promoter and start my own promotion. I like discovering fighters. I've met many people whom I've encouraged to get involved in MMA, and sooner or later, they do.
