Hello everyone. I was born in Nashua, NH and spent most of my childhood in Virginia before moving back here during High School. I received my BA in Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University and my MSW from Boston University. I previously worked as a Child and Family Therapist and part time as a College Professor. In 2007, with the support of my professor, Roberto Maia, I opened Triumph BJJ. I received my Black Belt from Professor Maia in 2011 and am now a 3rd Degree Black Belt. I’ve been honored to coach so many accomplished BJJ Competitors and MMA Athletes. You can find me at the academy anytime. I regularly teach 4 to 8 classes a day including several with my son Johnny. The majority of my time is spent on student evaluation, curriculum development and lesson planning to meet the needs of every individual.
