    My experience with the fighting arts began in my teens with Boxing, Golden Gloves and many Judo tournaments.  I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.  As the Viet Nam war was winding down, the Air and Navel Gun-fire Liaison Company (ANGLICO) asked for volunteers to link communications with foreign armies.  I was assigned to the Republic of Korean Marine Corps.  Once there, I was able to work with their Special Forces in Hopkido. Upon returning to the United States, I volunteered for the Marine Corps version of Special Force: Force Recon. I was soon assigned to their Boxing and Judo team. In the All Marine Championships, I placed second in Boxing and first in Judo.  I then represented the Marine Corps at the AAU Judo Nationals.

    After leaving the Corps, I entered the world of Pro-boxing.  After getting my bell rung once too many times, I found college to be a much safer and smarter place.  Still interested to learn different forms of Martial Arts, I found myself at one of Moni Aizik’s Commando Krav Maga Seminars.  I relished the philosophies and techniques of CKM and found it to be something very different from other martial arts.  I wanted more.  I interviewed with Moni for the instructors program and got accepted. It was the hardest and most rewarding thing I have done since my days in the Corps.
