My friends and family, I am excited to announce the start of a new chapter for me and my wife Rachel.

Today I am officially retiring from MMA fighting and I plan on never competing in martial arts competitions again. I had a wonderful career and a wonderful staff, and even greater- a wonderful wife and a wonderful God to thank for all the great moments.

I am now going to be doing my woodworking full time from here on for many many years to come. I have been a professional cabinet and furniture maker for 7 years now along side my fighting. I have my own custom cabinetry and furniture shop and i am just as passionate about woodworking as i am about martial Arts. I put the same hard work and striving for perfection into my woodworking craft as you have all seen in my fighting career.

Here is a brief write up of my retirement and the reasons why from my friend Brett Okomoto from ESPN.

I was sad to see you retire because you’re one of my favorite fighters. But, couldn’t be happier to hear your motives. It takes a true man, to leave something they love, to obey and follow someone they love more. Seek His kingdom first 👊🏻

Do you have a link to your woodworking?

Sad to hear the news of an early retire from competitive fighting. Many chances to missionary preaching and dedication in home living. I am sure there is a blessing there from God in a good husband. I wish the best to your family in your craftsmanship skills. I remember the pictures. Your home is beautiful. I am impressed. I have been a carpenter and I have plans to build some situation similar, but I don't know if I can top that home. Your a blessing to the family and you and your brothers are an inspiration in my heart and mind. Have peace.

You were my favorite fighter to watch and I’m sad to see you go. Absolute best of luck to you going forward; I have no doubt you will be successful. Maybe you can team up with Nick Offerman and make the first successful woodworking reality show.
