I started my martial arts journey when I was 13. I began taking karate classes with 3 of my siblings. After about 4 years of training, the 4 of us tested and passed our black belt test. While my sister stopped training at this point, my 2 brothers and I continued training for another 7 years. During this time, I not only trained but started teaching after about a year. When I turned 21, I tested and became a certified instructor. During my time, I competed a lot as a black belt and eventually joined the National Competition Team representing USA.

I grew up in a large family. Being second youngest among the 8 children my parents had, I always had someone to get into trouble with. While I didn't really get to know my oldest brother as he was away at college while I grew up, I am very very close with the rest of my family. Being homeschooled, I spent a lot of my time surrounded by my siblings and parents. My dad was a trucker and my mom was a stay at home mom as she schooled all of us. Now, in my adulthood, I enjoy my relationships with my siblings and brothers and sisters in-laws. Even more than that, I get to play around and enjoy my nieces and nephews although they do grow up fast and remind me that I am continually getting older. This picture was taken at my wedding and shows me next to my beautiful wife, Mackenzie, surrounded by my 7 siblings, their spouses and children, and my parents sitting in the center.

Here is a picture of my cat. My wife LOVES cats and so a couple months before we got married she made sure that I had a cat that she could love on when she moved in with me. So here is my first pet, Beebs. No he isn't named after Justin Bieber. Rather his name stands for one of the first pictures I had of him where he was really bug-eyed. So Beebs stands for Bug Eyed Buddy. Beebs really enjoys eating cardboard, cuddling, chewing cords, unplugging my fan and running full force into my closed bedroom door when I'm sleeping because he gets lonely.
