Why did I launch this site?
Like other elite athletes, I am faced with rigorous training and competition demands which leave me in financial hardship. One purpose of this site is to bring awareness to companies looking to partner with an athlete and individuals looking to help support this Olympic journey. Though I currently work full-time to support myself, inevitably there will come a time when my competition and traveling schedule will not allow for a typical 9am-5pm position. To continue on this athletic journey, I seek the support of individuals, communities, small businesses, and corporations. Your financial contribution, large or small, can keep my dream alive.
Though getting the awareness out was definitely a contributing factor for this site, it wasn’t the only reason. I wanted to give you a front row seat to experience the ups and downs of an athlete’s daily life. Most people only hear about highs of being an athlete—the awards, traveling, glitz and glamour—but I wanted to share both the inevitable ups and downs experienced by athletes; the day –to-day life or the “grind”. I thought it would be a great way to keep my family and friends updated, but also a way to communicate with new people from all walks of life.

What I need YOU to do:
You JUST got here and I’m already asking you to do something for me?...Yes, I am. It’s not too difficult, so I think you can handle it.
I want you to interact with me! Have questions? Ask me! Want to know about a specific tournament? Ask! Have a question about your diet or workout? I’ll try to help, offer insight, and probably also research your question and point you in the right direction. Don’t quite understand judo and want me to explain something? I sure will! Need a little motivation to start working out again or start eating a bit better? I’ll do the best I can to help get you going! Have a burning question about me? Ask away! I’ll share (pretty much) anything! Want to share a story with me? Please do! I’d love to hear from you! I want this site to be interactive, educational, and most importantly, I want it to be fun for YOU!
So, take a look around and let me know what you think!
P.S. Of course, if you’d like to pass this site along to your friends and family, I’d also appreciate that.
