I have competed in 6 U.S. National Championships earning 3 Bronze, 1 Silver, and in 03' a Gold. I also have competed in 5 U.S. Team Trials earning 2 Bronze, and 3 Silver - Nope, No "A" team spot yet, I stress YET! - lol I have had the oppurtunity of training, traveling, and competing with some of the top athletes from around the country, and although getting away and seeing other athletes/coaches ways of training, I will always be happy with what I have accomplished training righ!

Taekwondo history
I originally started in Karate in 1988, competing all over in the "Point Circuit" and after about 3 years of that,I began training TKD too. I competed in both style tournaments for about 3 years and then decided that TKD was more for me. It's been that way ever since.
life in the club is...
My life revolves around Taekwondo. It always has. I had the oppurtunity when I was younger to play other sports, but I always ended up putting all my time into TKD.
life outside the club is...
I like listening to music, dancing, playing pool, hanging out with friends.
Taekwondo is...
Besides my family....it is MY LIFE!
Taekwondo@CWB is...
a fun experience everytime we train. I like having the oppurtunity to train with so many different people, and the energy between everybody there helps with keep the motivation.
Significant moments
Definately winning U.S. Nationals with a broken right foot, and a sprained left ankle...just hearing my friends and team mates on the side counting down the last 10 seconds of my final match...that feeling was soo awesome.
Sound off!!
I just want to say that I appreciate having a place like C.W. to come to train at. Again, everyone's energy I know helps to motivate me, I like making new friends with the new - comers, and just getting something out of each work-out. I wouldn't trade our group/Boston for any other!
