I started training kickboxing in around 1990 in Bathurst.

Then moved to newcastle in 1994 where i was introduced to Brazilian jiu jitsu under sean Kirkwood, for the next 6 years competed in just about every grappling tournament going, also fighting in pancrase, pankration, which were forms of MMA. Picking up state and national titles in jiu jitsu and mma.

After John Will gave me my purple belt in 2000, i moved to Manly and continued training under Anthony Lange for jiu jitsu, and the Luke Pezzutti'sLions Den for wrestling and and Nick Stones Bulldog gym, fighting 4 times for Bulldog Kickboxing.

My most recent outing in mma was in 2004 fighting in the warriors realm event fighting for the lightweight title, i came second, having it stopped 13 seconds from the final bell. 2004 also saw Anthony award me my Brown Belt in jiu jitsu.

In 2006 i started a club in Coffs Harbour, training some students in mma and jiu jitsu, i coached them through to win some mma events and 1 member fighting on a nick stone show winning a highly excitng fight, tapping out his opponent. the club is still going and getting larger.

Returning to sydney to focus on my training and competition again, recieving my jiu jitsu black belt in 2009....
