My main background of martial arts was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which was quickly followed by boxing. I trained under the tutelage of Andre Alemao of Carlson Gracie and with Jason Parillo of RVCA boxing and a few other high caliber coaches during my time in Los Angeles.
After being forced out of training competitively due to injuries, I turned my eyes toward the fitness aspect of boxing. I became a certified personal trainer through NASM and worked under Olympic bronze medalist Tony Jeffries who is the owner of the #1 Fitness boxing gym in Southern California, BoxNBurn and eventually received my Level 2 BoxNBurn certification under that company.
