When I began my martial arts journey, I strived to be a ninja. Since I started a little late in life and wasn't exactly in shape, I decided to take my journey to the next best thing. I am an instructor at heart both inside and outside of Chos. Martial arts has transformed me both physically and mentally and fuels my passion for teaching, studying and performing the art of taekwondo. Chos is a part of my family, and I have brought my 3 children to the black belt club.
