"Great at breaking down complex combinations into an easy-to-understand process that makes it fun to enjoy.

With over a decade of martial arts dedication since 2007 and competing in Muay Thai since 2020, I'm well-versed in the art. Teaching experience spans across adults and the elderly, bringing a holistic approach to training. Let's embark on a journey of strength and skill development together.

With 22 years in combat sports and athlete development, I bring the kind of experience you can't teach—you earn it. I competed exclusively in the super heavyweight division, finishing my amateur kickboxing career at 12-0 before turning professional, where I went 3-0 in kickboxing and 1-0 in professional boxing. Along the way, I earned three championship titles: TCB Illinois State Amateur Champion (1997), TBC Windy City Champion (1998), and TCB Midwest Champion (1999). Beyond my own competition history, coaching is where I’ve built my legacy. I’ve trained and cornered dozens of male and female athletes across boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, helping them build confidence, sharpen technique, and step into the ring prepared to win. My approach is equal parts technical detail, discipline, and mindset development—because a fighter’s body follows where their belief leads. I’m not here just to teach punches and kicks. I’m here to develop competitors, leaders, and resilient athletes who know how to push through, get better, and show up like champions.

"I hesitate to give constructive critique via message. As we know, words are not always interpreted as intended. That being said, here we go: I have worked with 4 personal trainers over the years. IMO you are the best. You know how the body works, what we should be feeing and where we should feel it. You have shown me that the smallest tweak can make the biggest difference. You’ve been through some things and you also know how the body doesn’t work (injuries) and you are careful about that. I like your training style and if I am not being challenged, neither of us is doing our best. Thank you for not swearing during our sessions. Please don’t tell me I’ve done something well, when I can feel I haven’t. False “kudos” are not appreciated. I understand we live in a time where everyone expects “good job” just for breathing, but when a person who is critical tells me my form/technique was good, I can believe them. Thank you for reminding me to “get out of my head”, but sometimes I need to step back for a minute; take a pause to reset. We’ve had some heated discussions and I’m fine with that as long as we come to an understanding by the end of the session. We play hard and a few clashes are to be expected as long as we have respect. I hope to meet the corporate people next time they come in. I will tell them how I appreciate your knowledge and workout advice. Sorry. Not so short.

I'm a current professional in boxing, mixed martial arts, and Muay Thai. While these are my preferred sports, my true dedication lies in continuously learning techniques from various disciplines worldwide. I'm enthusiastic about sharing these skills with individuals at any level, drawing from top-tier coaches. My passion is driven by creating a space for diverse individuals to learn and grow, regardless of their background or experience.

I've been boxing for 3 years and even competed in the 2022 Chicago Golden Gloves. Currently, I'm a trainer at 9Round Kickboxing, but my true passion lies in teaching the art of boxing to anyone eager to learn.
