About

January 7th, 2009

I started my my martial arts training 1996.  I spent a few months training fairly informally with a coworker who was a 3rd dan in a Shotokan derivative.  After moving to Pennsylvania, I began training Tae Kwon Do.  I trained for nearly three years, but simultaneously lost my love of martial arts and gained a lot of weight.

In 2003, I started training again at the same dojang with a much improved mental outlook.  I earned my black belt in Tae Kwon do in 2004.  In 2006, I earned my 2nd dan in Tae Kwon Do, in addition to a 1st dan in Hapkido.  I also decided to start training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  In December of 2007, I earned my blue belt in BJJ.

When I’m not injured, I train 5-6 times per week, including several classes each of Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, and BJJ, in addition to teaching beginner and intermediate Tae Kwon Do classes.
