  • Origin of nickname: “My friend Thomas Hamontree and I were always getting into a lot of shenanigans in college and were pretty wild. We came up with a philosophy for how we wanted to live our lives and called it living like a Renegade. The ideology of being a Renegade has evolved over time but has stayed true at its core. When I fight, I hope I show a glimpse of what that philosophy is all about.”

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training when I was still wrestling in college. I would come home in the summertime and pick up a fight for a few hundred bucks. I didn’t really know how to strike or anything about jiu-jitsu back then, but I enjoyed a good fist fight and I was a good wrestler.

What professional titles have you held? Tachi Palace Fights Bantamweight Champion, Up Next Fighting Bantamweight Champion, TUF 31 bantamweight finalist

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? Two-time Junior College All American wrestler

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? Brown belt BJJ

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Probably the TUF finale against Brad Katona. I suffered some injuries in the fight that made it hard to breathe and see and I had to dig deep.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Nick Diaz

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to Bakersfield Junior College and Menlo College (Bay Area).  I have a B.A degree in History. I also finished my teaching credential program and my master’s degree in education at Brandman University.

What was your job before you started fighting? I’ve been working as a teacher while I’ve been pursuing MMA and continuing my education.  I also coach wrestling at Atascadero Middle School.

Personal Life / Background: Married, three kids (Ella-8, Margo-4, Hank-3 months). I have been a schoolteacher for nine years. I have also coached wrestling for many years.
