My Personal Fundraising Page

Hello, I am proud to represent the We Defy Foundation as an Ambassador and Athlete Mentor. I am a retired Zone Sergeant with the New York State Police and a retired Chief Warrant Officer Four, Senior Ammunition Technician, with the US Army Reserve. I have been training BJJ since 2018 and I earned my Black Belt in 2025 under John Bruss at Rocket City Revolution in Madison, AL. Everyday, We Defy scholarship athletes are simply proving everyone wrong when they take to the mats. Your support allows us to continue our mission of providing therapeutic healing through the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I'm raising money for We Defy!

I’m thrilled to be participating in WDF Memorial Day Ruck & Roll 2026, a fundraiser supporting We Defy! I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Here's how you can help:

  • Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
  • Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
