About Me

I'm a hard working guy from north of Detroit, now living in the Tampa, Florida area. I like to work on cars. I have a '97 Grand Prix GT and a highly modified 2000 Grand Am GT that I've done all my own work on. Check out my blog for more info and links. I also live for fitness and martial arts. It's a lifestyle... not a hobby. I started training in Karate when I was 11 and began lifting weights. I switched to Tae Kwon Do at 13 and have been studying that for 15 years now. I currently hold a third degree black belt. I've cross trained in many other martial arts and participated in many kinds of competitions. I worked at a gym for three years and worked for two years as an instructor at Rochester gymnastics training center. Yes, I do gymnastics too! I played soccer and football when I was younger, and ran track for five years and was team MVP my senior year of high school. I've also done some work in independent film, although my experience is limited, but would like to do more. I've done various kinds of stunt work and fight choreography, and even a bit of motion capture work.

My Interests

Modified cars, cruises, shows, drag racing and road racing. All kinds of martial arts. Fitness and weight training. Acting, stunts, fight choreography, gymnastics, and other performance arts. All kinds of asian food ,weapons , and Japanese swords. Music, movies, and anime. Building computers, online gaming, and trolling car forums (haha).

I'd like to meet:

I've already met lots of cool people in the martial arts and fitness worlds. If I had to pick an actor and actress I'd really like to meet, I'd say Liam Neeson and Jennifer Garner. Other than that, I'd just like to meet anyone else who's really into martial arts, really into cars, or involved at all in film, action/fight coreography, and stunt performance.This_Space_Conquered

Movies:

Too many to list. I'll just say I watch mostly action, comedy, and martial arts. I also like a good drama or occasional romantic comedy. About the only thing I don't like are horror movies. I don't find them entertaining. I also really like Japanese anime. I studied Japanese for three years so I get their sense of humor!

Television:

Don't watch much TV and if I do it's usually speed channel, discovery, or history channel. I like educational stuff. Otherwise I just watch movies. I have a huge DVD collection.

Books:

Some favorites... J.R.R Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, anything by David Eddings, "Where the red fern grows", "The Crow" by James O'Barr, "Ghost in the Shell" by Masamune Shirow, "Tulku" by Stephen K. Hayes. I also read all the stars wars collection. Everything else I read is pretty much martial arts/fitness instructional or technical car related.

Heroes:

I wouldn't really call them hero's since I'm not someone who idolizes famous people, but there are a few I admire... -Michael Schumacher (Formula one champion) -Andy Pilgrim (race car driver) -Bill Wallace (Karate Champion) -John Rothlisburger (former elite gymnast).

Eliminating weakness

I believe it's important to always try and better yourself. I never want to just settle for myself the way I am, since I believe I can always be better. I don't really think contentment is bad, but ra...

The downfall of the american air travel system.

Had anyone else noticed that air travel is just ridiculously unpleasant these days? I only flew a few times before 9/11, but they were much more enjoyable trips. And I'm not even talking about the inc...
