Some people think I may have gypsy blood. I'm a scorpio who was born on October 27, 1974 in Burley, Idaho. As a child and a teenager I lived in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, North Bend, Oregon, Portland, Oregan, Wells, Nevada, and Manteca, California. My father was killed in a logging accident in 1984. In 1990 I returned to Horseshoe Bend, Idaho where I attended Horseshoe Bend High School. I was involved in wrestling, track, football, and basketball. I graduated in 1994. Two years after high school, I attended the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, Idaho and majored in culinary arts. However, I quit school after a year and I did not recieve my degree. During my year in college I started studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship for the first time. I trained under Keith Owen and the late Dean Heileman. Since then, I have had a few boxing matches in Idaho, Utah, and Montana and a few submission grappling matches in Las Vegas. I still train frequently. I have also lived in Reno, Nevada, Fowlerville, Michigan, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Reading, Pennsylvia and now I currently reside in Memphis, Tennesse.
