I started taking taekwondo in 1991. I began teaching taekwondo when I was a green belt. I have been teaching and training ever since. My longevity in the sport is due to my love for taekwondo, which I approach as an art.

A versatile pastime, taekwondo began as an activity I could share with my family and friends. I enjoy it for physical fitness, but I have also found new ways to relate to it at each phase of my life. It functions on a social and educational level and as a discipline and means of self-defense.

Taekwondo has been a richly rewarding experience and has given me an outlet to relate to others in a positive way. My participation in this school began with earning belts, but it has become an opportunity for me to give back to others what I have gained from the school.
