Haven’t done any throwback pix in a while. Tapping my opponent in the finals at the first Grapplers Quest. I believe in 1998 or 1999 with about 4 months of bjj training.

This is the day @renzograciebjj gave me his contact info and offered to train me. A couple decades later I was able to get MMA legalized in Maryland. Ground Control is here with 4 locations and Shogun Fights is going strong. Also I am a 4th degree black belt under Renzo.

Joining Renzo and his team was one of the best decisions of my life. Thanks for all of the knowledge and guidance brother. #renzogracie #groundcontrol #grapplersquest #oldschool #shogunfights ... See more

My mom has passed away one day before her 78th birthday. The viewing is on Thursday from 2-4pm and 6-9pm at Johnson-Fosbrink Funeral home on Loch Raven Blvd. Funeral prayer service is Friday at 11am at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers we are asking people
to donate to Show Your Soft Side. It is one the charities I work closely with. It fights animal abuse.
