About Me

I am a 30 year old husband, father of three beautiful daughters, and banquet chef for a small private country club. I am without instructor, but strive to live the life of a martial artist. I am humbled by all the great people involved in the martial arts and the knowledge they bring to the table. ..

My Interests

I have a myriad of interests, but I will localize them for this page to the various arts I have encountered and think are both cool and going to be showcased. Shotokan, Muy Thai, jujitsu, Judo, Akido, Kung Fu, Karate, Jeet Kune Do, and Krav Maga. I am interested in feedback from people all over.

I'd like to meet:

Other people interested in the Martial Arts willing to learn and teach. All styles welcome all levels welcome as well.

Music:

I am a fan of, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Drowning Pool, Old Metallica, Stone Sour, Slipknot, Korn, White/Rob Zombie, and rap/hip hop is a must.

Movies:

I like Bruce/Brandon Lee movies, Sonny Chiba flicks, Steven Segal, and chuck Norris were who I watched growing up.

Television:

UFC, Tapout, IFC

Books:

The Tao of Jeet Kune DO. The Book of Five Rings. My way of life. The 47th Samurai.

Heroes:

All people have the capacity to be heroes to someone, it's just a matter of wanting the responsibility
