What an excellent competition and I’m thankful for the opportunity to share it with some talented teammates. I performed well in the Masters Age Group +40, 170lbs Division with 4 wins and 2 by submission. I got caught in a tight Punch Choke in the Finals and lost by submission. I have some work to do and will get it done. Thank you and my bro as well as my Teammates! Thank you for all your love, encouragement and support.

I competed at the IBJJF Masters World Championships this past weekend. I won a few matches but lost my third match 0-0 decision in the Quarterfinals which ended my tournament. It was a disappointing result but an excellent event and a great experience. Thanks to my teammates that competed alongside me and all our club team members.

Last weekend I competed in the Masters US National Championship in Vegas. I was in great company with some amazing athletes and captured the Gold at 78kg. I had my very good friend and old teammate Owen Dawkins with me which made it even more memorable.

On April 8th we celebrated 24 years of marriage! When I asked Lisa to be my wife I knew that we would be starting a life long journey together and that if we remained together we would never get lost. This journey is a beautiful story of our love, friendship and family! We are blessed to have this love, each other and time together to experience more unforgettable memories. Thank you Lisa for choosing me!❤️
