	The Gameness Fighting Championship, also known as the GFC, was designed with three main goals in mind: (1) to produce a premier line of MMA Professional and Ameteur sporting events in the state of Tennessee, (2) to provide an "middle level" ground for those fighters looking to transition from lower-level events (bar type events) to high-level high-paying events such as the UFC, and (3) to provide a venue for the fighters of the Gameness Fighting Team, housed in the Gameness Training Center in Nashville as well as surrounding affiliated schools. Starting with GFC01 on December 11, 2008, the organization immediately set the standard in the state of Tennessee for live MMA action on a local and regional level. With over 1,500 people packed into the Tennesse Sports Arena, the reactions and comments by spectators, fighters, and officials were nothing short of jaw-dropping. No longer are fans in Tennessee relegated to the sissy-type bar fights put on by local self-promoters with little to no experience and their only goal being to make a quick buck off of the public. MMA in Tennesse is regulated by the Tennessee Athletic Commission, and all fights in the GFC are promoted by the Gameness Promotional Group and sanctioned by the WKA under the guidance of the state of Tennessee. visit website

Pro Bono -	The Open House Project was a rapidly developed organization in response to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina catastrophe. It was free service that could be accessed via web or via fax (due to lack of internet access in shelters) and allowed people who were in need of FREE housing to be matched with people that are willing to house them, all over the nation, in a secure format that did not jeopardize the privacy of either party. We were able to consolidate nearly 7,000 volunteers from around the United States as well as a multitude of external resources to assist in the transition efforts. The primary purpose was to unite individuals and families in need with homes that are offering to take them in for whatever amount of time they determine necessary. The project was fully funded by its creators and did not take donations of any kind.
