About
You're free to Ask me Anything about:
Tai Chi, Martial Arts, Self Defense Instruction - I started Kung Fu at 9 years old and have been on the martial arts path ever since. I have learned from many great teachers and teach regular classes at Golden Rishi Qigong and Tai Chi.
Engineering, Math, Science Tutoring - I discovered science early in life and chose engineering as my career during middle school. I have worked as an electrical engineer for over 12 years and been a tutor to many high school and college students. Teaching a deep passion of mine and I am happy to share the secrets of nature.
Health, Wellness and Longevity Coaching - At 13 years old, I found myself staring at the number 273. On a scale at 24 Hour Fitness, I began my quest for Optimal Health. It took many years of fitness, diet and self discipline but I found my way through and have a wealth of knowledge of the Way to live the best, long, happy life.
I look forward to helping you soon!

Tai Chi is my greatest treasure. In the process of giving it away, I only get more.
The benefits derived from martial arts are infinite and I cannot encourage others enough to take up the pursuit. The fitness, flexibility and morality derived from my studies gave me so much that I am eager to teach.
Teaching is my greatest joy as I get the opportunity to change someone's life simply by sharing knowledge that changed my life.
