He is at MGA full time and he did come from 50/50. his brother is actually Paul Schreiner, not sure if he moved up because of that or for other reasons, but he's been a great addition to our gym. I wonder if he is originally from that same Santa Cruz lineage as his brother or not.

Was in a group of four with him once (basically a shark tank positional sparring session for back control). He was so helpful with how to defend the choke and just with general tips that I still use. That's aside from being really cool as a staff member.

Shit! That's cool! I went to NYU undergrad and my wife went to John Jay. She loved it. Wish you good luck on your applications and maybe one day you can join MGA! lol

or at least visit when you are in town.
