JOSEPH D.TESSARI

Age: 29
Hometown: Braintree, MA

Distinguishing marks: Tattoos, right ankle (the four brothers, we all got it) and back tattoo. THE PAGE!!! 
 More tat's coming soon! Got quite a few scars as well ;)

Education: UMass Amherst - Psychology.

Career aspirations: To open my own Jiu-Jitsu school in the Boston area under AJJP (I've been studying American Jiu-Jitsu for about 10 years now). I have also trained in Aikido, NHB, Judo, Kickboxing, Kendo, and traditional Jujitsu.

Current work status: I am a medical core outbound sales rep for Henry Schein Inc. 
The job is fun, challenging, and the money is awesome.

Interests: Apart from training and teaching Jiu Jitsu (which literally takes up 90% of my spare time), I am also a writer (creative, poetry, etc). I have also been playing guitar for about 11 years now, about 3 years of formal training.  I compose and perform original pieces of music with lyrics (even used to sing for an alt band a while back).  I am also an artist, though, often people think my art is dark. I used to do mostly pen and ink, but I  have a lot of experience air-brushing, and have recently taken up wood carving (I'm working on a pipe now...and have beem...for over a year now).  I have a great love for nature and am an animal enthusiast (especially dogs, reptiles and other predators).  Hope this answers some of your questions.
