Martial arts, computer building and repair, reading, boxing, and collecting music. I'm an avid Cincinnati Reds baseball fan, and one very happy cat owner.

For me, really just five major accomplishments. Starting TKD, earning my black belt, getting back IN to TKD in adulthood, and spending time at the front of the class, finding out what a BALL it is to help other students learn TKD. Finally, as of November 2009, I achieved my certification as an instructor in the N.P.T.A.

Roxette, Celine Dion, ANY country music, instrumentals to include soundtracks, and basically anything from the 80's on back.

Basically, anything TKD or martial arts related. I also like autobiographies, with one of my all time favorites, being General Schwarzkopf's best seller "It doesn't take a hero"

I began training in April of 1981, under Mr. Jack Hauswirth, earning my first degree black belt in 1983.
We used the Chang Hon system back then... in the form of the original 20 forms. I remained active in training until 1985, where my focus turned to the fire service and girls. (The teen years were great!*lol*)
In 2005, I got off my duff and got back into training, and spent a year of intensive training, getting up to speed on the Songahm curriculum. I retested for my first degree black belt voluntarily, and achieved it at the end of that year.
Since then, I've spent time in front of classes, as well as putting in a lot of my own practice time. I have augmented my TKD training with boxing training over the past year, under the same trainer that taught Jerry "Golden Boy" Trimble, how to box.
As of November 2009, I am a 2nd degree black belt and certified instructor with the NPTA. And the learning is STILL just beginning!:-)

I am 41 years old, single... I think overall a pretty decent fellow. I enjoy discussing the martial arts, and am a certified weather junkie.
My mission, is to establish a community martial arts program that benefits the community in which I live, as a training ground to reduce stress, develop character, and enhance the personal fitness of my students.
Once established, it is my intention, to offer training to students on a sliding scale, to ensure that lack of financial resources doesn't stop someone from enjoying the life-changing benefits of martial arts training.

Currently, I train at Warman's Martial Arts Academy in Crittenden, KY, an NPTA school.
I practice both Songahm and Chang Hon styles of TKD... (and by that, I mean I practice the Chang Hon style as it was taught in the ATA back in the 70's and 80's)
I also train as a boxing student in Shamrock Boxing Gym, in Covington KY.
