The founder.
Collin J. Smith is the founder of mmaGPT and a two-time Taekwondo World Champion from the Pittsburgh area.
He fell in love with MMA at 8 years old, in the arena at UFC 58 in Las Vegas, the night Georges St-Pierre beat B.J. Penn. As a young taekwondo athlete, he made GSP his role model and his favorite fighter.
On the way to two world titles, he watched talented fighters plateau. Not because they lacked work ethic, but because they could not get the frame-by-frame technique correction that elite training rooms run on. The athletes who lived near a world-class gym got better. The ones who did not got stuck.
He built mmaGPT to close that gap. Not by replacing human coaching, nothing can, but by giving every serious fighter the second pair of trained eyes that catches the mistakes their coach was not in the room to see.
Before building mmaGPT, Collin was a finance director in the auto industry. He is a member of American Mensa, a lifelong martial arts fan and a car enthusiast.
