I am in the Chicago Carpenters Union. They are huge supporters of mine and of MMA.

Most of my fights, I push the pace. I'm the aggressor.

You're speechless sometimes when you think of the support you've had from the first day I've started wrestling to now.

A true champion and athlete is never satisfied with their performance. You can always do more and always improve.

I consider myself a very driven and intense fighter.

They say people from small towns have big dreams and that pretty much describes me. I had big dreams growing up and I'm still a dreamer.

My parents are hard workers and they showed me what it means to work hard. I would give a lot of the credit to my parents for where I'm at and who I am. They both worked multiple jobs to make sure me and my siblings were able to play sports and have a home. I'll never forget how hard they worked and that always motivates me.
