I grew up in South East Michigan, where my biggest hobby, if not snowboarding, was just spending time with good people. After high school, I moved to Florida where I attended Florida Gulf Coast University and obtained my BS in Criminal Justice. I've always had a want to help people, but never really the means to do so. Krav Maga changed that and I couldn't be more thrilled to pass on the knowledge and skills I've gained over the last 10 years.
Starting Krav Maga was a huge turning point in my life. I was 70 pounds overweight and definitely not living any sort of healthy lifestyle. I've always been my biggest opponent whether it be self-doubt, procrastination, or a mixture of many things. When I started Krav Maga I never planned to be passing on the knowledge to others. As it turns out, teaching others what I know about self-defense is one of my most passionate activities. I started the journey not knowing what I got myself into, but with amazing instruction from those who started as coaches and became a very important part of my family, I earned my Black Belt with the United States Krav Maga Association. This is the point I knew with hard work, determination, and consistency you can achieve anything.
My purpose is to give those what I have already been given. My passion is to pass down the hard work and skills I've learned. My goal is to see every new deserving student earn their Black Belt just as I did. I'm here to make that happen.
