ANSWER: CES bantamweight world champion, KOTC bantamweight world champion, PA Cage Fight championDo you have any heroes?My parents and my wife are my heroes. My parents have always believed in me and supported everything that I’ve done throughout my entire life. I realize there are a lot of people in the world that don’t have both of their parents so I’m even more grateful for them; not just to have them but to have the best parents anyone could ever ask for. My wife is also my hero. Without her love and support, this dream wouldn’t have come into fruition so quickly. She takes care of pretty much everything financially just so I can continue to pursue this dream and train full-time. On top of that, she always cooks the things I need to fuel my body for a hard day of training and sacrifices so much more so we can make my dream become a reality.
