For over 30 years, I’ve dedicated myself to karate, and in 2015, I became a professional MMA athlete, competing in Bellator, one of the world’s largest MMA events, broadcast in over 150 countries. My passion extends to teaching kids karate, helping them develop the mindset and confidence to chase their dreams and succeed in life.
Throughout my journey, I’ve collected numerous gold medals in karate, kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu, becoming a 6-time national champion, 5-time kickboxing champion, and Pan American champion under WAKO, the world’s largest kickboxing organization. Martial arts taught me to believe in myself and never give up on my dreams.
Now, I’m sharing my experiences with kids through my writing, showing them how powerful they can be if they believe in themselves—because no matter who you are or where you come from, you can achieve anything.
