Martial Arts history:
I became a student of martial arts because I wanted to learn basic self defense. I developed a great love for the art and an increasing drive for further knowledge. I have achieved my first degree black belt in A.K.K.I. Kenpo, and currently pursuing the original Ed Parker System as well as the requirements outlined in the White Dragons of Bushido system.

Awards and Achievements:
Over the years I have been privileged to attend multiple seminars and international training camps to certify me as an instructor. I have also acquired my first level club certification through the AKKI. Recently, I attended my first tournament at the 2002 Golden Gate Nationals in San Francisco, CA. With much apprehension prior to the competition, I place second in the self defense division. On a personal note, martial arts has given me a greater self confidence and a desire for greater knowledge and to be able to achieve any goal.

About Me:
I was born and raised in Ogden, Utah. I am the youngest of two children. I enjoy science fiction and fantasy movies. I am in love with all kinds of junk food, especially chocolate and cheese cake. I learned tap dancing and jazz for eleven years, in addition to one year of gymnastics. My time these days is spent between martial arts and my job, which keeps me very busy. I just want to take a moment to thank everyone associated with WDOB for welcoming me into your school and allowing me to be a part of this wonderful family. It is my privilege to be associated with this fine school. To Shihan I want to say a special thank you for all of his support, words of encouragement, his patience with me and most of all his friendship.
