About
I am a Golden Gloves Champion and currently a Certified USA Boxing Coach with over 20 years of experience in the sport of Boxing, both as a fighter and a trainer. My specialty (and what I am known for) is pad work, a.k.a. Focus Mitts. I was the former Master Trainer for 9Round Kickboxing located in Ann Arbor, MI for the past 4 years, and here I gained recognition as a skillful instructor. Now, i teach boxing classes at Title Boxing Club - Ann Arbor, but also teach one-on-one boxing technique there, my home, or a preferred place of my client. My clients will learn all the techniques, skills, and mechanics required to be a great fighter. The skills you learn with me can be carried with you as you progress into a competitor in the sport, or as someone bedding skills in self defense.
I love the art of Boxing. Yes, I said ART, because that's what it is. The "sweet science"! The fighter is the artist, working on his/her own masterpiece as he/she progresses in skill level. I enjoy the "aha" moments on the faces of my clients when they start to understand the little things required to become a great "artist". I am serious about the sport (yes, it is a sport too), but I love to have fun with it. I have an 80 punch combo that my clients and I begin working on once their skills have developed enough to do so. Once we learn this combo together, clients often want videos of them executing such a feat, then show their family and friends. Afterall, if you cant have a little fun with such a demanding endeavor as boxing, then you may be in it for the wrong reasons.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We begin with the most basic fundamentals of fighting starting with a thorough breakdown of the boxing stance & posture, the 6 punches of boxing, footwork, defense, rhythm, style & adaptation. The student's skill level determines how we approach their training, which ranges from beginner to professional.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am certified through USA Boxing for coaching with 20+ years as a fighter and 5 years as a trainer. I fought out of the same gym as Deontay Wilder in Tuscaloosa, AL. In fact, Deontay and I were on the same team for years. Now, I am strictly training students. My training does not have to take place in a boxing gym, but at my student's location of choice (my home, their home, parks, gyms, etc.). Most recently, I have trained out of a local gym in Ann Arbor and am currently a boxing instructor at Title Boxing Club - Ann Arbor.
