I was born and raised in NYC and spent most of my life there. I served as a firefighter for the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department during Hurricane Sandy until debilitating injuries forced me to move on. Moved to DC in 2016 and then I moved down to the Palm Beach area in 2021.

I received my black belt in Brazilian Juiitsu from UFC Hall of Famer Matt Serra. I also trained for many years with WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz and helped build and maintain his websites and social media.
