About me
Coach, student, and lifelong grappler.
I have trained Jiu Jitsu since 2014, so a little more than ten years now, and I am a purple belt with a focus on No Gi and grappling. Somewhere along the way I had major knee surgery and rebuilt my strength and mobility from scratch. It was humbling, but it taught me exactly what it takes to come back as an athlete, and how to guide someone else through the same. So when I say I coach smart, injury aware training, I mean it from experience. More than anything, I love teaching classes, privates, total beginners, and professionals. I love, love, love it, and yes, all three loves are intentional.
Purple belt, focused on No Gi and grappling since 2014.
Regular classes on Fridays at ASVZ BJJ and Thursdays at Stark Jiu Jitsu.
Away from the mat I study medicine, so anatomy and recovery are never far from how I think about training.
