The Story

Built in the desert.

Pima-raised. Army combat engineer. Training out of the Desert Dogs. No shortcuts. Just work, dust, and the cage.

Graham County

  1. Roots

    Pima Wrestler

    Grew up in Graham County grinding on the mat under Coach Digger O’Dell. Discipline before the lights, before the nickname, before the belt. Second at the 2010 AZ State Wrestling tournament.

  2. Service

    Army Combat Engineer · 10 Years

    Eight active duty, two reserves. Ten years of service forged the Kamikaze mindset. Calm under fire, mission first, finish the job.

  3. Team

    Desert Dogs

    CNC machinist by trade. Fighter by calling. Training and competing out of the Desert Dogs, Graham County’s own.
