I have competed in numerous Golden Gloves and Kick boxing tournaments and have been studying Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under black belt instructor Mario Roberto.   With over fifteen years of competitive and training experience my passion for improving technique, physical fitness, mental discipline, and functional strength is apparent in every class I teach.  My patience, knowledge base and ability to convey these techniques to students that transfer into real world success has earned Team Howell MMA a reputation as Winona's best Mixed Martial Arts Studio.

I have been involved with some form of Mixed Martial Arts my entire life. As a child, I was taught the fundamentals of Boxing by my close friend and father figure a decorated Golden gloves and professional boxer, Duane. In my early teens I competed in my first Golden gloves match,  from that point on I knew that I wanted to dedicate my life to Boxing, Martial Arts, and staying fit. Since that time, I have proven myself to be a fierce competitor who believes in a principled approach to Mixed Martial Arts that includes the development of personal character as well as physical strength. My focus on respect, confidence, and discipline has made me one of the most sought after Mixed Martial Arts and Boxing instructors in the Winona area.

Some of my accomplishments include:

• Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Mario Roberto 
• 6 Time Toughman Champion in Heavyweight and Light-heavyweight division
• Former Head coach/conditioning coach for Lions Den boxing club
• Professional boxing/MMA
• Main boxing/MMA sparring partner for UFC veteran Tommy Speer

My rambling philosophy is...learn by doing.  Break you down to build you back up.  Lets learn it..drill it..fix it..drill it..drill it some more..fix it.. and perfect it..

Leave your ego at home, were all family here..when you step through that door there are only a few things you can count on..You're going to get tapped.  You may get knocked down.  You will be physically and mentally pushed to your breaking point.  You will get stronger..faster..your technique in all areas will improve greatly..you will get into the best shape you've ever been in..it's not going to come to you easy..nothing worthwhile does..you're going to workout harder than you've ever worked out before..when it's over..and you're covered in sweat..all the energy has left your body..you will feel better than you have ever felt in your life..because you will feel that sense of accomplishment in knowing you have just done something that not very many people have the heart, will or determination to do.


Feel free to stop by to get a workout..watch a practice or meet myself and the rest of the guys..
