My Story

Built Through Pressure.

I did not begin as a naturally dominant competitor. I experienced difficult losses, including losing my first competition 17–0. Instead of walking away, I became obsessed with understanding why techniques worked, how people improved, and how to build a game through repetition and problem solving.

That process shaped the way I coach today. I understand what it feels like to struggle, plateau, and question what to work on next. My coaching is designed to make improvement less random — by identifying the positions, habits, and decisions that are slowing a student down.

Today, as an instructor at Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet HQ in downtown Los Angeles and head coach for the USC BJJ club, I bring a focused, technical, and purposeful approach to every session. My goal is simple: help you develop real skills, a relentless mindset, and the confidence to perform when it matters most.
