Martial Arts and self-defense made such a huge difference in my life and helped me to feel confident and safe. It is such an honor and a privilege to be able to teach and empower others! On top of that, I get to work with a group of people who are so incredibly passionate about helping all students achieve their full potential, that it continues to inspire me every day!

I stay pretty busy teaching full time at the university and running my own martial arts academy. With the little bit of free time that I have, you can find me wandering in the Oregon wilderness with my wife and kids. We enjoy hiking, fishing, mushroom hunting, and all things wild.

Cost of attendance is the estimated cost to attend the UO for the academic year. The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships provides estimates for cost of attendance information that goes beyond tuition and fees, and includes: living expenses (housing and food), books/supplies/equipment, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses.
