About Me

Let's see, where do I start. I am a married 35 yr old man with 2 little boys. I work as a Senior Engineering Technician for a Civil Engineering firm here in Houston, Texas. In the evenings, I go to school at the University of Houston (GO COOGS!) pursuing my Bachelor's in Civil Engineering. In my spare time, I enjoy playing softball, volleyball, and basketball. The most important thing that I like to do in my spare time is Martial Arts. Currently, I am a 2nd degree Black Belt in Kajukenbo, purple belt in American Kenpo (AKKI), and I have just started my training in Northern Shaolin Praying Mantis Kung Fu. There are many variations of NPM the specific style that we are learning is Taiji Plum Flower Mantis with a little Wah Lum as well.
