Why he chose Tang Soo Do: I was still recovering from a head-on car accident and looking for something to help me health-wise.
When he started: I started Martial arts in 1979 learning Tae Kwon Do. In 1982 I moved to the United States where I continued my studies and briefly expanded in to other styles. In 2010 I started with Tang Soo Do at Starworld AMAF thanks to my best friend Mr. Christian Richards.
Why he chose Starworld Martial Arts to instruct at: I love the family friendly environment, the support of the students and parents and we have an awesome team of black belts for instructors.
His favorite technique? Tornado Kick
What he likes best about being an instructor: Love to learn something and be able to share that knowledge with others. 
His greatest achievement in life: I don’t think I have a greatest achievement. I know that I have made a difference in many people’s lives around the world and I still have lots to offer.
Something special and unique about him: I was nearly paralyzed in a motor vehicle accident which left the doctors thinking that I would never walk again. After nearly a year in the hospital and another year of physical therapy I took my first steps.
What he would like his students to know: Zig Ziglar said: “Getting knocked down in life is a given… getting up and moving forward is a choice.” Don’t let what happens to you today in life keep you down. Find a way to get up, learn from it and keep moving forward. I have seen each of you overcome some obstacle in your life and I know you can overcome anything else put in front of you!
