I was born and raised in Buffalo, where I now live with my wife, two dogs, and a cat. I started boxing at 16 and have since become one of the highest-ranked professional boxers in Western New York. In addition to competing, I lead both individual and group boxing/fitness classes. I come from a big family that I love spending time with—and fun fact: I eat a steak every single day! Over the years, I’ve dedicated time and resources to supporting at-risk youth and young adults within the boxing community, using fitness as a powerful tool for mentorship, discipline, and personal growth. I’m passionate about helping guide others toward a better path and showing them the importance of having a strong and supportive community.
