I'm a multi-skilled instructor and a lifelong student of the combative arts. Since 2005, I’ve dedicated myself to both training in and teaching martial arts, sharing my passion and knowledge with others.
A Legacy of Excellence
A Legacy of Excellence
For over two decades, I have had the privilege of learning from one of the most influential figures in the martial arts world: Sifu Alan Baker of the Atlanta Martial Arts Center and Baker Tactical. This experience instilled a deep understanding of effective combat techniques, training methods, and the warrior mindset. I have earned multiple rankings under Sifu Baker and continue my training as part of the Civilian Tactical Training Association.
In 2023 I had the privilege of becoming a part of the International Inosanto Martial Arts Instructors Association (IIMAIA), under the guidance of Guru Dan Inosanto. I earned instructor ranking in Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Gun Fu/Jeet Kune Do, the Filipino Martial Arts, and Maphilindo Silat.
Guro Dan Inosanto was one of Bruce Lee’s closest students and the main figure who preserved and shared Jeet Kune Do after Bruce Lee’s passing. He is widely regarded as the leading authority on JKD and Filipino martial arts worldwide. The IIMAIA is the organization founded by Dan Inosanto to certify instructors worldwide. Training under an IIMAIA-certified instructor ensures you are learning authentic Jun Fan / JKD directly connected to Bruce Lee’s lineage.

A Passion for Sharing Knowledge
A Passion for Sharing Knowledge
I'm not just a martial artist—I'm a passionate instructor committed to helping others grow. Since the beginning of my teaching journey, I've worked to create a positive, supportive learning environment where students can feel confident exploring their potential.
My teaching style is both challenging and rewarding. I aim to push students to reach beyond their limits while building a strong sense of community and mutual respect. Whether you're a complete beginner or a lifelong martial artist, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you grow from there.
Every class I teach is grounded in my commitment to excellence and my belief that martial arts can be a powerful tool for personal transformation. Sharing what I’ve learned—and continuing to learn alongside my students—is one of the greatest joys of my work.
