Assistant Instructor - II Dan Black Belt

I teach Taekwon-Do because I love the lifestyle and believe in sharing it with others. Taekwon-Do is more than just self-defense—it's a path toward becoming the best version of yourself. It’s about cultivating discipline, living with positivity, and passing on a legacy that helps build a more peaceful world.

I began training in Taekwon-Do in 1994 and have spent about 9 of my 17 active training years teaching others. In 2019, I founded Valley View Taekwon-Do in Longview, Washington. We are proud members of the United States Taekwon-Do Federation (USTF), and I continue my own training under Sr. Master Mason of Mountain View Taekwon-Do.

Outside of the dojang, I'm a proud father of six (plus the occasional bonus kid) and a full-time video producer. My professional background includes work on films, video game trailers, advertising, and thousands of hours of technical training content across a range of industries. When I’m not teaching or producing, you might find me drawing, painting, writing scripts, or capturing the world through photography.
