BLACK BELT TRAINING

Belt Rank: Bocho Dan

About Me: I am a veteran with 10 years of military experience in the US Army and an accomplished leader with over 20 + years of quality assurance and production supervisory experience in the food, beverage and warehousing industries. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Morehouse College in Atlanta and a Master's degree in Science Education from Albany State University in Albany, Ga. I grew up in California, and am an avid 49ers, Dodgers and Lakers fan. I love to travel. I have been to 41 states and 5 foreign countries (Portugal was my latest trip, Italy is next on the list) and read (Star Trek novels, mainly). I started my martial arts journey in 2011 (Shotokan Karate of America) but switched to Taekwondo in 2022 when our dojo closed down. My favorite pet is dogs, and my favorite dog is the Akita.
