I grew up in San Jose, Ca training and teaching Taekwondo from the ages of 14-25. I was even lucky enough to train with Mike Chat on a few occasions thanks to Victory Martial arts! I graduated high school with a dream to get into the stunt industry, however, I let fear and limiting beliefs hold me back. I went the “safe” route and jumped into the construction workforce instead.
Fast forward 10 years, and now I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada with my wife and 3 kids. Currently, running a community center taekwondo club.
I am tired of the nagging regret of never following through on my dream way back then. So here I am. It’s time and I’m ready. Let’s Go!
I am super excited to be here and help create with this awesome community.
I’m looking to GIVE these 3 things to the community:
- I love to inspire and encourage others to be their best. I am a very positive person, so if you need some help feel free to give me a shout! We are in this together after all!
- My background is specifically in Taekwondo(traditional taekwondo and XMA performance), and parkour, so if any of that experience can benefit you, just ask. Let’s go!
- Community and accountability. These are areas I am looking to improve in, and often the best way to improve is to reach out and offer that skill to others as well.
I’m looking to GET these 3 things from the community:
- Community and networking skills. I have often found my self in environments where opportunities are all around me, but I have not had the networking skills to be able to take advantage of them before. I want to fix that, and I think this community is a great place for that. Specifically creating connections with like minded people in this industry.
- Accountability and consistency. It’s always been a dream of mine to break into the martial arts/action stunt industry, but I have never followed through on that goal. There is no time like the present. Let’s start strong!
- Support and education! Going it alone is often slow and painful. I look forward to building friendships and learning from others! There is so much I don’t know, but I am looking forward to learning from others in this group so I can take the next step forward.
