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.
