Brian Cimins

Brian Cimins is an author, entrepreneur, and creative producer whose career bridges sports, business, and the arts. He founded Grapplers Quest, one of the first major submission grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament brands in the United States, expanding it internationally through partnerships with the UFC Fan Expo and global sponsors. His background in Operations Management and event production has allowed him to build large-scale live experiences while integrating media, marketing, and philanthropy. A faithful believer in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, Cimins approaches every venture as both a creative pursuit and a calling to serve with purpose and integrity.

As a writer and screenwriter, Cimins collaborated with Dr. Stanley Quincy Upjohn, the principal author of Forgive the Bride—a redemptive continuation inspired by the Kill Bill saga that transforms vengeance into forgiveness. Serving as editor and research specialist, Cimins helped refine the story’s cultural and psychological depth, aligning cinematic realism with spiritual redemption. Together, they also developed XRP 2034: Future Proves Past, a prophetic and visionary exploration of blockchain, faith, and financial transformation in a rapidly changing world.

Cimins also co-produced Gospel Doo Wop: The Musical, a Broadway-style stage production inspired by the life and ministry of Pastor Walter Santos. The show combines original music, heartfelt redemption stories, and classic gospel harmony, reflecting Cimins’s devotion to faith-driven art that uplifts and restores. Beyond the stage, he founded the Gallery Hope College Scholarship Program, which utilizes blockchain tokenization of original artworks to raise funds for students in financial need. In partnership with OpenSea, XRP Café, ArtPal, Fine Art America, and annual eBay charity auctions, the initiative supports New Jersey teenagers with ADHD and dyslexia, providing scholarships and mentorship to help them overcome learning challenges and pursue creative excellence.

Across his ventures—from combat-sports promotion and blockchain education to musical theater, visual arts, and community philanthropy—Brian Cimins continues to merge innovation, discipline, and unwavering faith in Christ into every project, transforming each creation into both a story and a ministry of hope.
