Road to the Worlds 2016 Podium

I have goals for 2016 that surpass my 2015 campaign.  I want to be a World Champion.  I didn't miss the top spot by much and I closed out my season ranked #4 on the offical IBJJF Rankings, and ranked #2 in my division and #3 in open weight on IBJJF Rankings.com (which removes competitors who have advanced to the next belt). 



I work a regular day job (full time), teach beginning Jiu-Jitsu 2 nights a week and train Jiu-Jitsu 5 nights a week.  I've always funded my own trips, I hate asking for help.  But for 2016, I'm going to need support to be able to live my dream of becoming a World Champion.

Any contribution is a huge help! 15 years ago when I was getting cut from the basketball team, I would've never thought in 2015 I'd be a few matches away from being a World Champion in a LIFE CHANGING sport.
