How did you get into your sport? 

"I was introduced to the sport from birth, watching my brother wrestle and being on the wrestling mats as soon as I could crawl. From a very young age I not only loved it, but seemed to be naturally good at it from watching my brother, Kail. When my brother decided to try no-gi Jiu-Jitsu, we found a club where they were running a kids gi class at the same time. The coach looked at me and said, “You look ready to get on the mats,” so I put a gi on and jumped straight in. From that moment, both wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu just clicked, they complemented each other perfectly, and I’ve continued to improve, especially in competition. I also love that I can compete against older and heavier opponents to challenge myself."

What do you love about your sport?

"I love that I can travel the world in both my sports and meet so many friends from different paths. I love that there's always a fresh challenge ahead."
