What sports or activities did you participate in growing up:
I played many sports throughout my whole life. In school doing athletics, tennis, cross-country, soccer, and swimming. Outside of school focusing and (taking seriously) soccer up until 16yrs old, then I found AFL and played senior football until my 20’s. Then after this I found MMA and never looked back.
When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession:
I tried MMA out in late 2017 for a couple of months, then came back to it around 2019. Picked it back up and haven’t looked back! I turned professional in 2023.
