Ethan is a fighter because of a dream that he’s had ever since watching the very first Ultimate Fighter when he was 13 years old. He always felt that he was different, could do different things, and could be different than others in the small town he grew up in.

Ethan has a soft-spot for baby wild animals. He known around his town for being the one to call when there's an abandoned baby animal. He has raised raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, and birds in his home. The past two years he’s raised two pet raccoons name Chloe and Ivy.  Just recently he rescued two baby squirrels that he named Pip and Squeak.

Ethan has spent the last 12 years competing in the toughest sport in the world, mixed martial arts, and has a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
