Founder

Hi, I'm the founder and owner of GoBeyond Martial Arts. 

I created GoBeyond with one goal in mind: to help individuals build life skills through martial arts. With over 20 years of experience across two martial arts disciplines, I am passionate about teaching students how to excel on the mat and how to carry the lessons they learn into everyday life, including, but not limited to, confidence, focus, discipline, and resilience. 

When I'm not in the gym teaching or training, you may find me taking the opportunity to nap, exploring the outdoors on a hike, walking trails, or reading a book.
