BORN TO MOVE. 

At an early age I knew I was born to move. Raised a multi-sport athlete, I excelled at karate, baseball, soccer, volleyball and played ice hockey all year round. Although finding success in team sports, I was seeking a path of self-reliance that led me to transition my focus to Strength training, Yoga and Martial Arts - SYMLIFE ACADEMY. 

TRAVELIN' AND TRAININ' 

Since 2009, I've been travelling and training martial arts (Muay Thai and BJJ), on a mission to explore, connect and share ideas on fighting and movement. I founded Symlife Academy, an online community for those dedicated to a lifetime practice of Strength Training, Yoga and Martial Arts. 

SLAYIN' DRAGON'S

Having dealt with an undiagnosed illness in 2012, as well as several battles with depression, my mission is to connect with those who have dealt with mental illness, and to share how I overcame and conquered. 

FILM PRODUCTION & MUSIC

In 2014 I transitioned into film working on independent projects, as well as Warner Brothers & Netflix projects. On the music front I have my first studio EP dropping A.M.S.N.D 09.23.2019
