This event is rooted in one thing: responsibility.

The Shawn Thornton Foundation and SIG SAUER are bringing people together for an important conversation around fi***rm safety, education, and awareness. We believe the first step to ending gun violence begins with responsible gun ownership.

We approach this topic with respect for every family and community impacted by gun violence, and with the belief that education and responsible practices matter.

Thank you to everyone supporting this effort.

15 years ago, I walked into my first Jiu Jitsu gym with my friend Gregg Miles not knowing what I was getting myself into. Today, I was honored to receive my black belt from Professor Nei Seda — a milestone that means a lot to me after years of hard work, humbling moments, and great people along the way.

Huge thanks to all my coaches and teammates who’ve pushed, taught, and believed in me through every step:
