Born and raised in the bustling heart of New York City and the suburban enclave of the Five Towns, I have been privileged to experience the tapestry of urban and suburban life.

The city, with its skyscrapers and endless energy, and the Five Towns, with its close-knit community, offered a perfect blend of pace and peace, shaping my formative years in unique ways.

In 2016, life led me southward to the political nerve-center of the country: Washington, D.C. The city was a stark contrast to NYC with its ordered streets, smaller buildings and stately monuments. Yet, like any true New Yorker, I quickly adapted, finding a rhythm amidst the marble columns and cherry blossoms.

However, my stay in D.C. was short-lived. By 2021, I found myself heading further south, settling in the sunny climes of the Palm Beach area. The coastal vibes and slower pace were a refreshing change, giving me space to reflect and indulge in the passions I’d nurtured over the years.

One such passion, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has been a significant part of my journey. In 2017, after years of dedication and grueling training sessions, I was awarded the black belt by none other than UFC Hall of Famer, Matt Serra. Earning this accolade under Serra’s tutelage was an honor, a testament to the discipline, resilience, and commitment required in this challenging martial art.Yet, my martial arts journey didn’t stop there. Parallel to my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, I had the privilege to train with another legend, albeit from a different combat world – WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz. Rodz, known for his prowess in the squared circle, introduced me to the dramatic and intense world of professional wrestling.Beyond the physical training, my association with Johnny Rodz extended to the digital domain. Leveraging my skills in the virtual world, I had the unique opportunity to help build and maintain his websites and manage his social media presence. This dual engagement, both in the ring and online, strengthened our bond and provided a comprehensive insight into the world of entertainment wrestling.

Looking back, my life has been a series of moves, both geographically and in the pursuit of passions. From the streets of NYC to the shores of Palm Beach, every place has left an indelible mark, shaping my personality and broadening my horizons.

The martial arts legends I’ve trained with have instilled in me a discipline and focus that transcends the dojo or the wrestling ring. They’ve taught me that life, much like martial arts, is about constantly learning, adapting, and rising to challenges.

In conclusion, my journey, filled with iconic mentors, diverse cities, and relentless pursuits, has been a testament to the idea that life is a rich tapestry of experiences. Each thread, whether it’s a city or a martial art, adds depth and color, creating a narrative that is uniquely mine, and now I continue to serve America at FDIC
