Updated bio as of 2026. Opened King Tiger Harrisburg with Master Knight back in 2019 and still going strong. Teaching martial arts and running a school has been the highlight of all my years on this planet. I love our students. Love watching them become more than what they thought they could be. I love the families that come through our door. They are a blessing to me and have made a great community in our school. I love learning martial arts, whether it's training with Grand Master Evins, Master Reyes with Combat Hapkido, Master Melegrito with Philippine Combatives, they all add so much value to me and expand my horizons. I love working side by side with my sons, Connor and Trent, helping to grow our school together is a dad's dream. I come from a military background with the Air Force which helped shape my discipline and gave amazing adventures all over the world. Originally from the Santa Cruz Mountains in California. Still love the mountains and love to get out and hike or mountain bike whenever I can.
