I've been practicing the martial arts for 30 years and have been teaching close to 20 years. I'm ranked in multiple systems that include Ju-Juitsu, Aiki Ju-Juitsu, Aikido, and Shotokan Karate. I've also trained in Wing Chun, Jeet Kun Do, Kali, and Capoeria. I have attended many seminars and taught a few myself all around the country. In 2008 I was inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame! Besides the martial arts, i've been in a leadership role for nearly 15 years in the cable communication industry. I trained and managed teams of Field Technicians who install and troubleshoot cable tv and wifi internet. Sports are a passion, particularly football. I took up coaching young teenagers for a few years before returning to the field and being active. I like to set goals and I enjoy working hard to meet those goals. Hard work always pays off.
