Coty Dudley is a Engineer based in the Bastrop area, where he has lived since 2020. Originally from Texas, he has spent much of his career designing program logic for complex mechanical systems. Growing up, Coty was passionate about motocross racing, which fueled his love for competition and athleticism. Additionally, he has experience teaching golf, helping others develop their skills on the course.
Outside of work, Coty is deeply committed to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), a discipline he and his daughter began training in shortly after relocating to Bastrop. Since starting at Renzo Gracie’s Insight Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, his 13-year-old daughter has become an accomplished competitor.
BJJ has had a profound impact on Coty’s life, improving his health, boosting his confidence, and bringing a sense of fulfillment and happiness. He believes that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can offer life-changing benefits to everyone, and he encourages others to try it, regardless of age or experience. When he’s not on the mats or at work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters.
