Stop being so damn humble. Great accomplishments winning those and great accomplishment getting your black belt. I will let my son know, he really liked you when he met you at the Pan Ams.

When you coming down?

 Thanks guys, I really appreciate the support.



Soneca made it really special for me. He stopped the whole tournament, put me in the center of the mats, and brought out some of my black belt friends (Shawn Hammonds and Brad Hatcher) to stand beside me, and he and world Champion Samuel Braga (whom I've gotten to train with almost every day for the last 4 months) put the belt on me. It couldn't have been better. So many people helped me obtain this goal, thank you all.
