Brett began his combat sports journey at Ewing High School as a 3 year starter on the wrestling team. In 2005 he began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, first at Chuck Doyle's BJJ club and then with Pat Stano. From there he took up boxing and kickboxing in preparation for MMA competition, where he competed at both the amateur and professional levels. It was at this point that his passion for coaching was realized. In 2015, as a purple belt, Brett started training with Daniel Gracie, earning his brown belt 18 months later. It was in 2017 that he earned his black belt, and began teaching classes and training others in earnest. He's worked with a variety of athletes, ranging from MMA fighters to adults preparing for their first jiu-jitsu competition.
