I started my martial arts journey when I was 14 years old at Omaha Blue Waves Tae Kwon Do. After six years of training and competition, I earned my second degree black belt and transitioned to Premier Combat Center and began studying under Kurt Podany for Muay Thai, Ryan Jensen for MMA, and Jose Campos for Boxing. At this point in my career, I have over a dozen matches in mma, Muay Thai, boxing, and BJJ as well as over 15 years of teaching experience with adults and children of all experience levels. Currently an active competitor, I teach the youth mma program and the Bang Muay Thai program having received my certification from the creator of the Bang Muay Thai system, Duane Ludwig.
