Martial Arts has been my way of life since as long as i can remember . I have always had a profund appreciation and respect for the culture, and grew up around practitioners of kickboxing and eastern art forms including karate , kung fu, and wing chun . At year 2000 when I was 8 years old, I became uniquely fascinated with samurai culture and began self teaching swordsmanship through trial and error, inexplicably this has brought great joy into my life. This newly discovered love would lead me to be part of many martial arts groups in my formative years, later including formal training in a korean sword school for 3 years. I had attended several championships and achieved 2 gold medals, between the years of 0f 2009 to 2012. to this day My love for the arts have remained and I still train.

When I was growing up, I watched my father always building things,and drawing, it would be all self taught, This man would take tools and seemingly any materials he could imagine, and would spend many hours of his free time creating benches , sheds, chests, tree houses, and birdhouses. Professionally, This would later become mechanical work , construction, stone masonry ,and landscaping. I seemed to always be around tools and his creative expressions, and I loved it, this caused me to become a craftsman myself. As a result, I currently enjoy Painting, drawing, creating costumes, and armor to be used in sports, sparring , and ceremonies.

Currently , I am working on a personal trainer certification course for Nccpt the (National Council for Certified Personal Trainers ). More than I Ever knew, I have always loved fitness and the training of the body and mind, and have always been fascinated with the science surrounding the two.

Years Ago, I attended estrella mountain community college and didn't finish a degree, as at the time of study , I really didn't know who I am or what I wanted, and allowed the ups and downs of life get in the way and pull me off of my path . For the past 3 years I have been adamantly self teaching through reading many books on various topics including: psychology, human behavior, self help, self mastery, health,Fitness, entrepreneurship, finance, mental toughness, people skills ,human nature, philosophy and self accountability, to get a better sense of who I am, and want to be. Recently I have begun to understand myself more than ever through this intense self search and Have decided to Return to college to pursue degrees in psychology and health science.
