As a 2005 New York State Metropolitan amateur champion and a two-time semifinalist in The New York City Golden Gloves tournament, I’ve had the privilege of competing in one of the biggest amateur tournaments in the country. My passion for boxing didn't end in the ring—I went on to coach both male and female amateur boxers, helping them reach the semi-finals of The New York City Golden Gloves.Driven by a desire to give back what I could never fully repay, I founded BOXER, Inc. to provide today's youth with the same exposure, skills, and opportunities that shaped my life and helped me succeed.
