Our Team

Founder of ABK Collective, Master Instructor

I’ve always believed that experience is the best teacher. My approach to martial arts wasn’t found in a textbook; it was forged through decades of navigating real-world challenges:  from a childhood spent overcoming bullying and learning disabilities to my service as a Security Police Specialist during the Gulf War. 

Those years were a masterclass in the reality of conflict, but they also revealed the transformative power of discipline. While my 30 years as a Martial Arts Instructor provide the foundation, my mission is more personal. As a parent, veteran, and business owner, I am dedicated to helping others turn their own struggles into their greatest strengths.
