Personal

B-boy name "Gravity"...Although I love where I'm from (New York City), I love the open space Phoenix, Arizona offers. With a family of five kids and a German Shepherd, we spend most of our weekends at the lake or outdoors enjoying life. My family feels like I'm a bit of an adrenaline Fanatic because whenever I can, I spend my time cliff diving, jumping out of planes, speeding on a jet ski or paint balling...Sports were always my life and being raised in a gymnastics gym became the foundation of my ability today. Since the age of 5 years old, I knew I wanted to be in the air defying Gravity. As I took on a competitive career in Gymnastics at a young age, I was able to grow into a young champion at a fast rate. Before I knew it, I had my eyes set on the 2012 Olympics and my mother was fully invested. But when I turned 16 breaking, found me and changed my life forever. I finished off my last season of gymnastics a champion, broke the news to my mom, and hung up the grips forever. Breaking was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. The culture captured me, the freedom inspired me and the challenge motivated me. Although Breaking is a street dance, it kept me out of the street and focused on traveling the world. Now I find myself 17 years invested and back on track with the focus of making podium in the Olympic Games Paris 2024, where breaking will show the world that the new athletes are artists...I'm blessed to have the support of my family and friends, and I'm even more blessed to have a 11-year-old son who is following in my footsteps. My dream is to be the Rob Dydrek of breaking and build entertaining platforms that shed light on my community and its rich values of peace, love, unity and having fun. I currently run my own training facility and travel the country with my students introducing them and their families to the different wonders and cultures the world has to offer through breaking.
