Training: I will train standup and MMA from 10:30am to 2pm... and then go back at night and work my wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu from 6:30 to 9pm. In between I will consume mass quantities of steak and mashed potatoes... or chicken, broccoli, ziti and alfredo sauce.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started submission grappling for fun, and it has all snowballed from there. I began helping training partners train for their fights and wanted to give it a try.

Do you have any heroes? My Dad

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It will make explaining the type of fighting I do a lot easier. I no longer have to go into a big explanation of "Have you seen the UFC? I do that, but haven't fought there yet." I can just say, "I fight in the UFC".

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Wentworth in Boston, MA. Graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Science

What was your job before you started fighting? I worked in Tech Support while a student.
