The first day D.J. stepped foot in a Muay Thai gym, he knew that Muay Thai was going to be a big part of his life. Since then he's had over 30 amateur fights, 12 championship belts and is off to a solid start in his professional career. I had a chance to talk with D.J. about his career including things like:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>How the movie "The Protector" peaked his curiosity about Muay Thai.</li>
<li>Why even as a high school wrestler and experienced grappler, he chooses to stay away from MMA and focus solely on Muay Thai.</li>
<li>How his location makes it hard for him to get fights as both an amateur and a pro.</li>
<li>Why he chose to fight in so many Muay Thai tournaments throughout the states.</li>
<li>The ups and downs of his career and how he was able to overcome a tough KO loss.</li>
<li>Why he thinks Muay Thai needs more personality to grow in the U.S.</li>
<li>How he able to train in small spurts throughout the entire day with his job.</li>
<li>Why he takes it on himself to coach and lead a team of fighters.</li>
<li>How he's able to balance training his team and training himself.</li>
<li>His thoughts on weight cutting and why he would rather go up in weight than cut weight.</li>
<li>And much, much more!</li>
