A LIFELONG PURSUIT OF MARTIAL ARTS PERFECTION

My involvement in martial arts began when I married my wife Tammie Lawrence. I worked in the avionics industry selling air plane parts. Every day after work I was recruit to come sit at the desk. This allowed me to personally witness so many life changing outcomes and I have never looked back.

I became the office manager quit my full time job and to help the studio grow. Due to some health challenges I stepped back from the role for several years. Now I am excited be back involved , to take part in class, and work with families as they experience the amazing journey martial arts has to offer.
