2 and a half years ago I was 140kg when I first stepped onto the mats, in that time I’ve become a father to my first son, I’ve won a national title and the pinnacle of our sport in Australia PAN’s taking out my first IBJJF title at 97.5kg and I’m just getting started.

My self and my coach will both be representing not only Australia but Bendigo on the world stage, we’re proof that you don’t need to be training at a massive metro gym with 100’s of students everyday to make it to the big stage. Hard work and dedication to a goal is all you need.

Any support is greatly appreciated as worlds is in December and Santa has made flights very expensive
