I started my lifelong study of Taekwon Do at age six. Like many children, I was the victim of bullies. In an attempt to instill me with confidence and self defense skills, my parents enrolled me in Master Terry Guthery's school in Owasso, Oklahoma. There, I studied Taekwon Do from the age of six until fourteen. I earned my Il Poom in 1998. However, when Master Guthery took a break from teaching due to health issues, I left with him out of respect for my Master. For the next three years, I practiced Taekwon Do on my own, until Master Guthery reopened teaching.
When my family and I moved to Norman, I started practicing with the Kyung Hee University Taekwon Do Academy in Norman. There, I earned my Ee Dan in 2006. I also served as the schools Mental Training Instructor, wherein I taught students focus, discipline, breaking, and the philosophy and history of Taekwon Do.
In 2008, I began assisting in a multi-style Introduction to Martial Arts course at the University of Oklahoma. The other styles covered include Judo and Shotokan Karate-do. The course is held every Spring and Fall semester.

I am married to an outstanding, special lady and Taekwon Do prodigy whom I call "Little Cricket." We have two wonderful little girls, ages four and 18 months, who can hardly wait to practice with Momma and Daddy.
I have worked in Law Enforcement/Security for the past five years and will do so for the foreseeable future.
I earned my B.A. in History (Asian & Middle Eastern) from the University of Oklahoma, Norman, May, 2008.
