Tell us about your family-I have a beautiful wife, Stephanie. We have 2 children, Jessica 21 and Dylan 16. We have three dogs, Amber the English Bulldog whom is my spirit guide, a Pomeranian named Fancy King and a miniature Chihuahua/Pomeranian named Petri and one cat named Cosmo who thinks he is a dog.

Besides Kajukenbo, what other activities do you enjoy? Spending time with Stephanie. having Sunday breakfast with my family, it is one of the few times out of the week the family can unplug and be with each other. Shooting firearms. Eating.

What do you like most about training at Kaju AZ? Since coming to Kajukenbo AZ and training the PIT, Kaju and now BJJ, I have lost over 100 pounds. Working out helps me maintain and keep the weight off. I love working out with my son Dylan and getting to share that time with him on the mat. And I love going to the dojo and being with some great people.

What are your goals for the next year in and out of the dojo? I would like to earn my green belt. I have started the Kore BJJ program to work on my ground work and I want to continue improving. Outside of the dojo I am in the process of completing my project management certification. And have a travel vacation with Stephanie.
