I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, but moved at an early age and grew up in Rogersville, MO. I began martial arts at the age of 4, Taekwondo classes. Recieved my blackbelt around 13, then started Muay Thai training under Ike Stafford and Hapaikido/Jitsu under Pat Merriman both in Springfield MO. I also was a competitve weight lifter. After graduating highschool i enlisted in the Air Force as a Military Policeman at the age of 17 in 1998. I was deployed in Operation Southern Watch in Saudi Arabia in 1999 and then For Operation IRAQI Freedom and Enduring Freedom in 2002. After leaving the military I began kickboxing under Joe Swift in San Antonio, Texas where me and my wife Rose moved after my 6 year enlistment was up from the Air Force. We lived there for 1 year and then moved to Columbia, MO in 2005, where I began trainining MMA with Robert Hulett, Isaiah Larson, Jay White and Will Burns. We formed our own gym/team and called it Hulett House Gym. (www.wuf-productions.com & www.myspace.com/huletthouse ) We began our fighting careers and enilsted in many other fighters and became a top team in the midwest with over 10 fighters all with winning records. After 2 years I moved to Atlanta, GA and began training with various teams and finally settled with Gracie Barra Team of GA where I currently train.
