I started my train­ing in the mar­tial arts when I was four years old. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles were in their prime and I was a Ninja Tur­tle nut. My par­ents, how­ever, saw this as a good oppor­tu­nity for me to have a pos­i­tive role model in my life. They were right; my instruc­tors were awe­some. Right away I wanted to be every­thing they were. Where as most stu­dents see their instruc­tors as some­one to look up to or to fol­low, even at four, I saw them as some­one to be. I was going to be twice as fast, four times smarter, fun­nier, and def­i­nitely bet­ter look­ing. Well, two out of four is not that bad.

My pas­sion for the mar­tial arts grew and grew, as I got older. I found joy in com­pe­ti­tion and demon­stra­tion teams. Then in 1994 I received my black belt, at the age of ten. That’s when I real­ized my train­ing had only begun. I started assist­ing in classes, noth­ing major, just enough to make me real­ize I can learn more by teach­ing than I could in the past. In 1997 I was pro­moted to Ni-Dan (2nd degree). It was shortly after that when I began lead­ing classes and teach­ing more that I was competing.

Now my pas­sion is cre­at­ing not just the best fight­ers or the best mar­tial artists, but rather the best peo­ple. Use karate to make them good on the inside and the out­side. I also enjoy learn­ing as much as I can about all styles. I like to be con­sid­ered a well-rounded and open-minded Mar­tial Artist.
