At NYC Wrestlefest 2025 now at New Yorker. Open 10' x 10' mats in 2607 through Tuesday morning.

Planning to be in Indianapolis, Indiana in July 2025 for the KLI qep'a' #32 and looking to wrestle. At the Hyatt at 5500 N. Bradbury Ave. Savovqang!

Always up for a good match, have a basement mat room in Staten Island, New York City USA near Staten Island Ferry, do mostly submission (striking optional) and freestyle/collegiate wrestling, have lots of endurance and like long sweaty intense hard-fought matches for competition and fun with guys up to about 190 lb. (that limit's definitely not written in stone though), fun but also a good workout. 4% bodyfat, 162 somatotype, 36 resting heart rate.

Enjoy going to various wrestling events including NYC Wrestlefest (reserved mat room at the New Yorker hotel for Feb 2025), and also hold my own events sometimes. Please note that the Stewart is not currently available. Ask me about Sunday/Monday afternoon open mats on Staten Island.

I coach at Metro Wrestling freestyle practices which are held weekly in Manhattan from 2:30 to 4:30pm Sundays. Check the blog, events and calendar for more events and details.

See you on the mats!
