When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training back in high school. I remember watching the UFC and telling people that if I don’t play for the Pittsburgh Pirates, I’m going to fight for the UFC. 

What professional titles have you held? Pinnacle Championships Middleweight Champion 

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? Two-time Iron Tiger Middleweight Champion, two-time IT Fight Series champ and Golden Gloves state runner up

Any belts/ranks in grappling disciplines? Purple belt in BJJ

Any belts/ranks in striking disciplines? Black belt at whoop yo ass 

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Fluffy Hernandez; my first fight in the UFC. Short notice and the guy pushed a hell of a pace. 

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Jon “Bones” Jones. Tall, skinny and bad ass.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I completed my degree at Slippery Rock University. I majored in psychology and minored in philosophy. 

What was your job before you started fighting? I worked everything from construction to waiting tables, from bouncing/bartending to fast food. Anything I could do that allowed me to train as much as possible.

Personal Life/Background: Played baseball for 12 years, went to college for football. I live in Colorado now and have become addicted to snowboarding and mountain biking. I'm the middle child of six.
