I started combat training in 1998, at Goju Sabudo-Kai Martial Arts Academy, which led me to coach and train in boxing at Elite for the past 6 years. I chose to train in self defense for discipline and to have a better fitness foundation. I have been training and coaching for 24 years collectively.
I love the diversity of my clients, I have worked with the special needs community, ( physically and mentally disabled ) along with kids, women and men. I am a TEAM USA registered coach which allows me to work with TEAM USA boxing athletes and coach them into competition. I thrive on empowering people to believe in themselves through discipline and offering my skill set to anyone willing to put in the work. The reward over the years that I have gained through coaching and being with the team at Elite is pure gratitude. I also train in crossfit and have done both aspects of Elites classes for over 5 years. The combination of what we have to offer under one roof is unmatched.
