Damn! Who’s paying that?
I definitely have been spending my time more on what I want to do vs just work. Made a lot shooting, but taking on more shoots and giving up more of my personal time is something I will never do again. Was rough and I ended up getting fat and out of shape. Had money, but what is that worth without your health?
Good times.

I do remember Anthony being the tough Jiu-Jitsu mma guy on the board. Great guy. We are still really good friends.
There was a time when he was doing mma and was a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu challenging people for charity mma at one of the web shows.
I made a few mentions and nicely said I would beat him with easy.
He had no clue who I was or what my experience was. Then I DMd him my real name and he was able to confirm I got a Black Belt in 2000 from who I told him I got it from.
Then when he came out to LA he stayed with me a bit.
Then we actually went to go train. 🤣
Instead of tapping him, I kept the pressure on him and threw in fake attacks to keep him moving and escaping. Then 5 minutes in, I tapped him nicely because he was about to tape due to exhaustion.
He ran out of the academy and threw up outside and was done! 🤣
We laugh about it still.
But due keep in mind I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 1991 and got Black Belt in 2000. Not a tough guy by any means, but that’s just been my thing for so long.
Won worlds in 2019. Out of 2000 people I was one of 3 of the highest ranking guys there. But to me that just signifies time. I get in regularly with guys that can and are always trying to take my head off. These new generation Black Belts are really good and I stay sharp by always training with high level guys.
I post pics on my IG and Facebook.
I still shoot and train. Shooting a new concept site this Sunday and next week. Should be fun.
