About The Author

I’m a grappling geek who treats the mat like a mad science lab, where “experiments” involve getting choked out while pondering optimal protein timing. Obsessed with outsmarting Father Time through smart strength hacks, evidence-based eats, and nutrition that keeps this 45-year-old chassis rolling (not tapping) through endless rounds. Off the mat, I strum the guitar like it owes me money, belt out tunes that scare the neighbors, or bury my nose in books on mindset, physiology, and philosophy, because nothing says “fun” like testing stoic wisdom mid-armbar. Oh and I love playing Red Dead Redemption 2.
