Experience in the area
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. The facility I work at holds the Southern Golden Gloves championships. My friend, boss and coach is the former director of the National Golden Gloves and present director of the Southern Golden Gloves. He trained the heavyweight champion of the world Big John Tate in the late 70's. I am also one of the trainers and cornermen for a promising professional heavyweight.

Organizations
I am a certified USA Boxing Coach. I am also a licensed Boxing Second.
