How did you cross over from amateur to pro, is there a story behind it?
I competed for years to try to gain respect in the industry, once I got some good results respect and sponsors came with it, also came the chance to film with smaller companies and then getting that footage to bigger company’s like T.G.R. to get them stoaked on filming me after that came Pro status.
