Excited with the start of our wrestling program with coach Erik Renninger !
After 30 years in law enforcement, today I have officially retired.
As a five-year-old coming from Guatemala, I never imagined I would one day live out my dream job. Not a day went by that I wanted to be anything other than be a police officer. This career shaped me in ways words can’t fully capture. I’ve seen the very worst of humanity, but I’ve also had the honor of working alongside some of the most dedicated, selfless professionals I will ever know—men and women who show up every day willing to put others before themselves. Law enforcement was never just a job. It was a calling, a responsibility, and a commitment I carried with pride—a feeling shared by those who choose this profession. There was always purpose, growth, and the privilege of serving a community that mattered deeply to me.
To my colleagues and friends in the profession—thank you for the trust, the lessons, the laughs, and the bond that only shared experiences like these can create. I am grateful beyond words to have stood beside you. Never forget as the leadership coin quotes “If you do this job properly, there is nothing more noble you will do with your life”.
To my family—thank you for your patience, sacrifices, and unwavering support. You carried this career with me through long hours, missed moments, and difficult days, and I could never have done this without you. I hope I made you proud !
As I close this chapter, I do so with gratitude, humility, and pride. While the badge may come off, the values, lessons, and relationships will stay with me for life.
I thank God for putting people around me to keep me safe. May he continue to protect those out there still serving and protecting.
Here’s to what was… and to what comes next.
Thank you all for being part of this journey.

This weekend we had the pleasure of hosting Nelson and Hillary of @invertedgearacademy. They provided us with a two hour workshop on octopus guard and some rolls afterwards.
What a treat it was for everyone who got to finally meet and train with them. Nelson even came in early and insisted in helping out with our tiny age group kids class and put them through and awesome training session.
Thank you Nelson and Hillary for the amazing time and your continued support of our school and students !

Last week I also had the joy of promoting Dex to his second rank of Grey belt. This young man since day one has been locked in with each class. His focus allows him to get the most out of each training session and is such a joy to watch this level of discipline at such a young age.

Yesterday I had the joy to promote both Callie and Kaiya to their second rank in Grey belt.... these two young ladies both have always made such an effort to be a part of the school even when they become busy with other activities....
Coming up in the art with a sibling is truly special as their journeys at times mirror each other`s but most importantly is that they have a built in support system that helps them stay motivated and accountable and it shows with their love of being active and making a big contribution to the academy.
