"I'm a boxing coach who works with working professionals to get them in the best shape of their lives both mentally and physically through boxing.I was born in New York and then moved to Southern California for most of my life.My first introduction to combat sports was watching the UFC where I fell in love with it and started to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under professor André Alemão Vasconcellos at Carlson Gracie.Shortly after, I got introduced to boxing through my friend and was able to train with a variety of high-caliber athletes and coaches.After training for 7 years between the two disciplines, due to injuries sustained from Jiu Jitsu, I was forced to make the switch to coaching. I thought it was the best way to stay around the arts I loved so much and to spread the joy one gets from training in martial arts. Boxing has changed my life for the better, and I truly believe that it can do the same for you."
