I was born in Salem, MA...lived there till 12, then moved out to sunny California, where I spent 10 years in and around Long Beach, where I found my 2 great loves in life: rasslin and acting.
I tried my hand at a film career for a few years, but it didn't go far (had a lot of fun, and met some great people tho1)... I hung around the beach for crowd shots in Baywatch(tho I've never watched the show), and you can actually SEE me in the original Prehysteria (I hold the dinosaurs in place of the kid..I was his stand-in).
A few years ago I was forced to pack up and move to Santa Rosa, CA, where I now reside.
After spending a few years up here, I got hooked on the fledgling sport of NHB fighting (like the UFC and such).. I ended up one day driving out to Lodi to check out a gym there run by Ken Shamrock, and since then had practiced there for a few years. Frank Shamrock eventually opened up classes elsewhere closer to me, and I've been going there for the last few months, but I still try and make it to Lodi when I can. I'm hoping to compete once or twice more shootfighting before settling back into school full-time. To see where I started training, the Universal Submission Acadamy , and the fighters there, or check out my NHB page for more general info.
Recently, I've been able to finally get in an amateur shootfight. It was at the Orange County Submission Fighting Grand Prix, at their inagural show. I ended up facing a much bigger guy, and didn't win, but had a blast, and am looking forward to competing again (hopefully at thier next show).
