Despite the academic background in Economics, a passion for combat sports helped Tomi to find his true nature. Since 2017, he has been working within the martial arts media, writing unique and creative articles about martial arts, and covering the most famous combat sports events.
Tomi is super proud of his work and in my career having worked with some of the biggest martial arts blogs and websites like Middleeasy.com, and Martial Arts Unleashed where he works as an editor. Besides articles, Tomi also enjoys exploring his creativity and doing video scripts for various YouTube channels like "Xtra MMA".
The thing that excites Tomi the most is a hot cup of coffee, a comfortable chair, a blank piece of paper, and a unique topic in his mind.
