About me: I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago a few years ago to marry the love of my life. I love the weather, but its hard to get good food here. Chicago pizza rocks, Baby!:)
I love to laugh & make other people laugh. I find humor in the strangest things. From movies like Blazing Saddles & Pooty Tang to British humor like Mr. Bean & The Vicar of Dibley.
I run a Taekwondo program (Superkick Taekwondo) in my town. I have the best students! My school is sanctioned by the US Chung Do Kwan Association (USCDKA.com).I trained for a number of years in Full Contact Rules kickboxing under Kevin "Superkick" McClinton. He was an amazing man. I named my school after him.
I started learning Taekwondo in high school (a very long time ago) about the same time that I began to take my faith in Christ seriously. When I was in college, I trained with a bunch of friends who also took their faith seriously. Taking about faith in Christ & martial arts are both very comfortable things for me. I am trying to be the man that God created me to be. Yet, I can say that, but my actions speak louder than my words. I pray that what I do matches what I say.
If you want me to include you in my friends, send me an email & introduce yourself first.

yea i know. it's gonna be weird not having you at the center. freshman year....haha well it has been pretty undescribable in a good way of course. college is everything and nothing i expected at the same time. haha if that even makes sense! =] quite an experience!
Eh, it's just about as bad. . . lol Grandmaster Sell is using me for his "Cain and Able" story, complete with hideous wigs! lol. I'll get it posted here sometime. . . =D
That means I gotta pull it out of my note book and scan it! lol. I do need to though . . . lol. Very few people even recall the day before I wore a black belt. lol
I was I think 12 when I started TKD. . . I don't have any white belt photos though. My earliest is I think blue belt. I tend to think time has been good to me too. lol.
