Age: 26

Weight: 165

Height: 6′1

Record: 5-2

Gym: St. Cloud Golden Gloves

Coach: Started out with AD from Circle of Discipline, then Jeremy Valentine and Lee Ruiz

Style: Orthodox.  I usually stay on the outside working my jab.  I only come in when I know the other guy is not ready for it. But after working with Lee and Jesse Ruiz,  I’m ready to do some good damage on the inside.

How did you get started: A relationship break up inspired me to want to punch somebody.  I didn’t want to go to jail or deal with drama so I joined the boxing gym.

Training: 4 years. 3-4 days a week at the gym and 7 days a week.  At home I do a hour or so of stretching and the same for shadow boxing. Thirty minutes of light punching on a heavy bag and twenty minutes of hard punching. Five to six minutes of arm circles and Push ups.  Then I run a couple miles and then I do leg bicycles.  I try to do all of my workouts with little to no breaks between.

Hobbies: I drag race a sweet 1966 El Camino and teach my daughter things years ahead of her age group.

favorite boxer: I just started to watch pro boxing in the last few years.  I like the guys who stay classy through the whole fight.

Info: I’ve been working in construction for 10 years.  I was building and selling a few of my own houses before the market crash.  I have a 4 year old girl that has taken on my personality in almost every way.  The things I’m learning in boxing seem to be a benefit in every portion of my life.  I hope I can find a way to teach it to my daughter and give her a head start.
