Last photo I took before landing back on Vancouver after Unified MMA 48

Great way to cap off the year with three events in less than three weeks with a LOT in store for 2023
Nothing but up from here!

2021 marks my 15th year working combat sports and as I look back on some of the great moments and photos from events I've worked and people I've met, I feel so fortunate I can call this work
I miss:
: The great people I work with at Rise FC and the fans that always support their favorite local combatants
: The rush that comes with introducing two warriors and watching the chess match play out in my front row seat.
: The time before and after show when you see the best in people and how hard they're working to bring entertainment value to their product and how badly they want this all to go smoothly
: The stories shared over a cold beer after a hard night of work
One day soon we'll get back to this and when we do the introduction these people will get from me will be one for the ages 😎🎤
One day the fans will fill seats again and the noise and sounds will begin again as will the memories and I can't wait.
RISE FC is working out details on a future card so stay posted
To everyone that has always had my back (if you know, you know) I love you.
Here's to another 15 years 👊
