10+ Years Muay Thai | Pro Fighter (4 Years in Thailand) | 8+ Years Enterprise SaaS Sales
I grew up in Atlanta, attended Georgia Tech, & launched my career in the fast-paced SaaS startup world right here in the city. I quickly fell in love with building relationships, exceeding quotas, and helping accounts grow, eventually earning a Sr. Account Executive promotion.
Then came an opportunity that changed my life.
My company transferred me across the world to expand our presence in the APAC region (Asia Pacific). Moving to Thailand, I found myself immersed in something completely different from the American city life and the corporate hustle: MuayThai - a.k.a. The Art of 8 Limbs.
I trained with the locals every day after work, learning the art not just as a sport, but as a way of life. I trained repeatedly until eventually, my Kru told me,“you ready for real fight now”. I had my first fight (nervous), then my second, then my third, and I just kept stepping back into the ring. Fight after fight, I sharpened my skills, constantly evolving as a striker and stacking up W’s along the way. Muay Thai taught me discipline, resilience, humility, and the value of having a great team in your corner.
After COVID, I transferred back to the US. But I quickly noticed how disconnected and stagnant my colleagues and I had become. The modern work environment had changed—we were spending more time sitting behind screens, jumping from meeting to meeting, and missing the genuine human connection that comes from doing something challenging together.
That’s when an idea hit me… why not bring Muay Thai into the workplace?
Not to turn employees into fighters, but to give them a chance to step away from the desk, move their bodies, laugh, connect, and relieve modern work burnout & post-COVID stress, through punching bags and kicking pads. Muay Thai is uniquely suited for this because it’s fun, educational, builds confidence, and demands a little coordinationa which thus creates an experience people can remember.
Because I’ve spent 8+ years as an A.E., and over a decade in Muay Thai, I can speak both "fighter" and "corporate" fluently. Every session is approachable, highly professional, never intimidating, & safely controlled.
Today, I teach Muay Thai at Georgia Tech—the same school where my journey began—while also running private and corporate group sessions. Our goal at Korporate Kickbox is simple: bring the energy, discipline, and fun of Muay Thai into the workplace to create wellness experiences your team genuinely looks forward to.
Because wellness shouldn't be something you just schedule. It should be something you actually want to show up for.
