I was born in Toronto, Canada, and lived there until I was 5. My parents then moved the family
back to their homeland, Chile, where we spent 3 years living in the coastal city of Viña Del Mar.
At the age of 8, my parents divorced and I moved to the United States with my dad where we lived in Queens, NY, for 6 years before finally winding up in Seattle in 1985. Since the age of 13, I have studied and trained in various combat arts including karate, wrestling, jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. I'm now in my 30s living in Seattle fighting and training as my fulltime profession.
