How did you get into MMA?
I am a fan first of all. I watched Sugar Ray Leonard as a kid, Mike Tyson in college, then I got into UFC as an adult.
What is your martial arts background?
I was mostly a cardio athlete in my youth. My kids were doing Taekwondo, and my brother in law and good friend were doing Brazilian Jiu jitsu, and it kind of all came together in my 40's.
Why do you officiate MMA?
I am a full time Emergency Physician by training, I was working in the ER one day and stitching up a guy who looked like he was in a fight. He said "I am a fighter" and one thing led to another and now I work for CSAC, CAMO, IKF and several other promotions.
What is your career background?
Board Certified Emergency Physician, Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Certified Ringside Physician by ARP.
What do you do on your time off?
I teach Jiu Jitsu fundamentals, I help my wife grow flowers, I lift, run, ski, surf, and Hike. I love music.
