SHOW UP AND SWEAT

Trainer/Staff Bio

I was introduced to boxing at a young age and have been active in sports most of my life.   I wrestled for 13 years, but never truly learned how to box until I joined TITLE Boxing Club as a member last year.  I boxed on heavy bags at other studios and sparred with people in the past, but never got serious about it until recently.  I  just started training with coach Sharmba and Patrick to box in my first competitive amateur fight and recently won my first fight in February 2022!

My personal mantra

Difficult takes time, impossible just takes a little longer

My training style is:

authentic

My why:

I enjoy helping people learn and overcome obstacles they never thought they could.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

My fighting spirit comes from my drive to push myself to the limit and get stronger and better than I was the day before.

Trainer/Staff Bio

Born and raised in Baltimore County, I was involved in athletics all of my life ranging from baseball to track and field. I love sports, I truly enjoy the rush of challenging myself to be better than I was the last time I attempted to accomplish something in competition.  TITLE Boxing Club welcomed me with open arms and closed fists and reintroduced me to boxing, which I learned from my father and grandfather as a young kid.  My time as a sales person at the club has given me the passion to become a trainer and not just talk about what we do well, but show it!  I recently graduated from the illustrious Bowie State University where I earned my Bachelors of Science in Sports Management, but I’m still a student of life and love the journey that I’m currently on and excited to train with the team at TITLE Boxing Club.

My personal mantra

Anything is possible. Just when you thing you've reached the brink, you didn't.

My training style is:

authentic

My why:

To help see people better themselves every time they step into the club.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

My support system. Everyone who I've encountered that's in my corner. They trust me to be great.
