What gives me my fighting spirit:

My family and the sport. Boxing saved my life.

Trainer/Staff Bio

I have always had a very deep connection with boxing, including the people and the history of the sport. My father started teaching me to box before I ever entered a boxing gym. I joined San Jose Pal Boxing at the age of 14. I had my first amateur fight at 15, which I won TKO in the second round with a body shot and have been hooked on boxing ever since. In 2015 I joined a gym in Portland Oregon and got back into shape after living a sedentary lifestyle for a while, which changed my life. After a year of training there they brought me on to run the sparring program (which means I did a lot of sparring!) and I was there for six beautiful years. If you love gyms, you know that the journey never ends. I feel lucky to have landed an interview at TITLE Boxing Club, and to be able to work at a place I love and have a passion for because the people here love it as much as I do. If you ever see me at the club and have a question about boxing or just want to introduce yourself, please do!

My father was a boxer in the army and fought in Vietnam. The lessons he taught me through boxing can be applied in real world scenarios. Always stay grinding, never give up, and hard work always pays off in the end!
