Presently, I am at Houston Self Defense Academy sharing my knowledge with the nest generation of students. Martial Arts have been an integral part of my life, providing not only phsical discipline and personal growth but also the resilience and perseverance needed to overcome many of life's most challenging obstacles. The principles and values I have learned through martial arts have shaped both my personal and professional development and continue to guide me today.
