With over 20 years in wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA as a former professional fighter, plus a background in football and international soccer opportunities, sports have always been a huge part of my life.
What separated me as an athlete wasn't necessarily physical ability, but my obsession with film study, breaking down tendencies, and knowing my opponents better than they knew themselves.
Over time, I realized the part of competing I enjoyed most was the preparation, and No Offense Picks is really just an extension of that same mindset—using film, statistics, and matchup analysis to understand how a game or fight is likely to unfold.
At the end of the day, I'm just a sports nerd who loves studying the numbers, questioning narratives, and figuring out the why behind the what. Sometimes that preparation leads to detailed game scripts that seem to play out almost exactly as anticipated, but there's no crystal ball involved.
Just three things:
