I started my training in 1974 in Kempo Karate and received my first shodan in 1979, as an Army and Air Force officer I moved often and switched to Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido since they were often found at different army bases. I have been actively teaching since 1984 and was inducted into the International Hall of Fame as Hapkido Instructor of the year (1997). I have served as the International Tae Kwon Do Jidokwan Federation and International Combat Hapkido Federation (ICHF) director in Germany from 93-96 and ICHF Alabama State Director from 2000-2003. I am currently a V.P. of the ICHF. After my move to Colorado I began formal study of Aikido and would like to teach it on my retirement from the USAF. I am a combat veteran and currently a Lt. Colonel and pilot in the USAF. I plan to retire around 2006 with a total of 25 years of service. |
