Black Belt!

On Saturday I was promoted to Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Jack McVicker and Megaton Dias.  I have been working for over a decade towards this goal and now that it has been achieved.  I couldn't be happier.  I am extremely proud to have earned the rank from Jack and Megaton, and will do my best to up hold their high standards of BJJ.  I will write a post talking about the whole experience of getting my black belt in the next few days once it has time to set in.

Also I want to say thank you to all my friends, family, training partners, and students who helped me get here.
