Judo

I began practicing jujitsu as a freshman in high school and graduated at the rank of ikkyu (first degree brown belt). In college, I dabbled in judo, aikido, and Thai boxing, then later practiced Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I joined the West Bend Judo Club in 2013, was promoted to the rank of shodan (first degree black belt) in 2019, and was promoted to the rank of nidan (second degree black belt) in 2025. I volunteer for the West Bend Judo Club as an assistant coach for sensei Jon Sanfilippo (kudan, 9th degree black belt) and once taught judo to kids grades K-4 in the After School program at University School of Milwaukee.
