Assistant Coach / Head of AM Training / Personal Trainer
Rich started his journey into the arts in 2014.
He was introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and fell in love with it as his main focus. After being without a spot to train, Rich found JAO. Since 2016, Rich has been under Professor JAO / CTA, learning and improving techniques. Having experience with kids, Rich began helping Professor JAO with children’s Jiu-Jitsu classes. Soon after, he moved on to opening for 6:30 AM sessions (where some dare not wake up) and helping teammates improve and better understand the art.
“I became a dog trainer because of my passion for dogs and animals in general. My goal is to help teach pet parents/families to learn to better communicate by understanding their dogs’ behaviorism. I hope to help create stronger bonds, better relationships, and lifetime companions. Nothing beats the unconditional love and positive energy you get from your dog.”
