I am fighting in honor of Gabe Bellantoni & Steve Schmelz - Two very accomplished men and important people in my family who lost their lives to cancer.

I’ve been an athlete for the majority of my life and had a short lived professional soccer career. When I was asked to move to NYC to be a FA I needed to find a way to stay in shape. Rob Piela has built one hell of an environment at Gotham Gym where I’m able to break away from the office and learn how to throw some hands. When I was presented with the opportunity to fight at the Haymakers NYC event I didn’t even think twice. I get to fight in honor of loved ones, get back into top shape and have my first amateur bout. Cancer really sucks and I know there is no shortage of people who have suffered from it so I’m happy I can raise money to put towards finding a cure. I appreciate everyone’s love & support and lets knock out cancer!! #KOCANCER

S/o to Rob’s staff Luis Ortiz, Keenan Charles, Claire Prince & Mike Castle who are amazing coaches and have made learning how to box seem way easier than it looks.
