Martial Arts history:
I've competed in over 500 tournaments, some of which has been in other states, like California, Kentucky, Nevada, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, Texas, and many more. I started in California with Red Dragon when I was 11 years old. Professor Ron Bennett was and is my 1st teacher. He is the one I thank for getting my East and West coast titles. I also competed in NASKA, TPA, AKKA, NBL, and many more federations. Throughout the years, I've performed many demos for schools, businesses, and many other functions. The reason I wanted to study karate is because I wanted to be Donatello, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Awards and Achievements:
With being in over 500 tournaments, I've earned at least 4,000 trophies and awards. I've also received the Best Competitor of the Year and Best All Around for 6 years. I helped my community out a lot by having myself and other teachers go to schools, YMCA, and other children facilities to teach them about karate and what we do. I also was teaching a class called Rapist Beware. It is a class where I help woman defend themselves in the time of need. Compete Magazine and the local newspapers have interviewed me on many occasions about my achievements and community functions. I am 23 years old and now have a family of two wonderful kids, my son Jordan and his sister McKinzee. My kids will be in karate in the near future!

About me:
For being in karate for 11 years, it may seem that is the only thing I like to do, but I like to do many other things. For example, I like skydiving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, 4-wheeling, dirt bike riding, camping, fishing, and spending time with my family and friends. One other thing I love to do is work on cars. I like to rebuild and restore them back to mint condition. Volkswagens are the models I really enjoy working on and I have collected many items from them. I like martial art movies and actions movies mostly, but I'm not picky. When it comes to food, I like everything, all types of food especially from different cultures. Now that I live in Utah, the only sport I have to travel for is surfing. when I lived in California, I did a lot of surfing and beach activities. The past few years has been hard on my martial arts training because of my daughter going through some really hard surgeries, but she is doing awesome now. I will always love my family and friends through thick and thin waters. The one person who helped me believe in myself and others is my one and only teacher, Professor Ron Bennett.
