"The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else." -Umberto Eco
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill

the prophet Robert Marley said it best:
Man to man is so unjust, children,
You don't know who to trust.
Your worst enemy could be your best friend,
And your best friend your worst enemy.
Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su 'pon you.
Only your friend know your secrets,
So only he could reveal it.
And who the cap fit, let them wear it...
Some will hate you, pretend they love you now,
Then behind they try to eliminate you.
But who JAH bless, no one curse,
Thank God we're past the worse.
Hypocrites and parasites,
Will come up and take a bite.
And if your night should turn to day,
A lot of people would run away.
And who the cap fit let them wear it...
And then a gonna throw me corn,
And then a gonna call no fowl,
And then a gonna "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck".
Some will eat and drink with you,
And then behind them su-su 'pon you.
And if your night should turn to day,
A lot of people will run away.
Who the cap fit, let them wear it.
Throw me corn, me no call no fowl...
I saying "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck".

"Maybe the only thing I can do is take everything he's got. But to win, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that he's gotta be willing to die himself."
-Rocky Balboa
I am from Lima, Ohio, your typical small rural Midwestern town with a population of around 35,000. The second of three boys, all built like sycamore trees. In Lima, a boy who doesn't play sports in his spare time has to get a job, so, naturally, we brothers became fanatical athletes. At my high school, Lima Central Catholic, I ran track, was captain of the swim team, and co-captain of the football team. As a freshman in 1999, I walked on to the University of Dayton Water Polo team and competed for two years. In the winter of 2000, midway through the University of Dayton, I yearned for a new sport. I flipped through the yellow pages, landing in the M's, in "Martial Arts." I cut class and made it to his first Muay Thai Class.
In 2003, after earning my Bachelor of Science majoring in Marketing with a minor in Psychology, I moved to Downtown Los Angeles and fulfilled my life long dream of working for the most well known advertising agency in the world, Chiat/Day near Venice, CA. Once I realized that Mixed Martial Arts was my true passion in 2004, True Warrior Fitness, LLC was created and I have since been working diligently to build the “True Warrior” brand. Over 5 years after originally coming to L.A. I currently reside and teach Mixed Martial Arts in Hollywood, California. I am the former 2-time Total Fighting Alliance World Lightweight Champion in Mixed Martial Arts. I recently became the Managing Partner of a complete Mixed Martial Arts facility on the famous Melrose Ave in Hollywood, TRUE WARRIOR FITNESS. I plan on completing my Masters Program in Sports Psychology within the next two years while continuing my Professional M.M.A fight career.

My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended, but never coerced; killed, but never shamed. Admiral Yi Sun Shin --- 1545-1598
