Steven Orandello
Summary
I have been coaching and teaching for many years. I am currently a third-degree black belt in the art of Shaolin Kempo Karate. I've been teaching and managing a karate school since I was the age of 14. Now as of a year and a half ago I run my own school teaching people as young as 4 to as old as 77. I also have many years of experience, from the age of 14, coaching flag football, for the LSW flag football league. I also have been wrestling since I was in seventh grade and I've wrestled throughout college, where I was a starter. And now frequently coach my brothers off-season travel wrestling teams. As well as coach wrestling for MacArthur High School.
