To develop into the best martial artist I can become. To constantly put myself outside my confort zone.

My interest are all types of training and conditioning. I work to understand all phases of combat and incorperate technique into an overall fight strategy to acheive positional dominance.

I started training Jiu Jitsu when I was in fifth grade and continued for six years. During a long absence of almost 20 years, I have invested my time in other dreams and ambitions. I have been back training at American Jiu Jitsu, and Osensei Pulio for almost two years.

I orginally started out as a Secondary English Teacher before leaving K-12 Education to start my own software company and work as the Techology Coordinator for LI University - CW POST for the college od Computer and Information Science.

I am currently the Director of Techology for Valley Stream school district. Prior to going to Valley Stream I was the Director at Hauppauge SD, and Harborfields SD.

Before returning to K-12, I also held a position as an adjunct graduate professor.

I focus my training on American Jiu Jitsu. I also do extensive weight training, cardio, and yoga to achieve my personal goals.

I am a stand up Jiu Jitsu fighter. I focus on the three phases of combat and utilize technique as part of an overall strategy to acheive positional dominance.
