My Personal Fundraising Page

As a combat veteran and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, my mission now is to share the life-changing benefits of BJJ with other combat veterans. The We Defy Foundation does exactly that. They provide training scholarships, uniforms, and a supportive community to combat-wounded veterans who are dealing with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, or physical disabilities. It gives veterans a new mission and a tribe when they need it most. By participating in the We Defy Ruck and Roll, I am raising funds to get more veterans off the sidelines and onto the mats.

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!
