I grew up in Colorado Springs and graduated from Widefield High School in 2009. I started wrestling in middle school because my football coach told me it would make me a better tackler. Although I dreamed of playing in the NFL one day, I had more opportunities to wrestle in college than to play football, so I ended up committing to wrestling full time at Colorado Springs’ only NCAA Division I school, the United States Air Force Academy, where I peaked as the Team Captain and a national qualifier. After graduating, I quickly found jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts, and have been training and teaching ever since. I am probably the first person you’ve met in the United States Space Force, and yes, I’m happy to explain what we do.
