My passion is helping others to grow through training.
My mission is to teach all things in a friendly and understandable way.

Down the Path of Training
I started my own journey in the martial arts during elementary school, with the study of Judo. After a bit of a break I picked training back up in high school and, since then, have never stopped.
To date I’ve earned a 6th Degree Black Belt in Kenpo Karate, 3rd Degree Black in Force Necessary Unarmed Combatives, 3rd Degree Black in Filipino stick fighting, 2nd Degree Black in Knife/Counter Knife, Level 7 advanced instructor in the CQC Gun Course and became a NRA certified ‘home defense / pistol / shotgun’ instructor. I’ve also competed in Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing and mixed martial arts (becoming a welterweight champion).

Owning a School
In 1999 I was fortunate enough to be able to take over operation of my school and began teaching martial arts full time.
Over the years I’ve been honored to have had students travel from as far away as Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and Canyon City to regularly train with me.
I’ve worked with and helped a wide spectrum of people, ranging from professional fighters to people with challenging circumstances such as blindness or being wheelchair bound.

What Really Matters
Helping others is what I love to do.  I’d be happy to answer questions or do some training with you!
