The most important information about me personally is that I am a born
again Christian. I have a A.A.degree in Christian Education, a A.A. degree in General Education as well as
a B.A. Degree in Biblical Studies. Next I am a husband and father. We have six children. Then, I am a martial artist.
My teacher was Daisensei Seikichi Odo. I teach his system of Okinawa
Kenpo called Ryukyu Hon Kenpo Kobujutsu. I have been awarded a 6th degree black belt and teachers license by Daisensei Odo.
Odo Daisensei passed away in 2002. In 2006 I had the honor of being promoted to 7th degree black belt by Dean Stephens.
Sensei Stephens is a senior student of Daisensei Odo.
I have trained extensively in Okinawa Japan. Stationed in Okinawa with
the USAF from 1984 to 1988 and later making short visits of two to four weeks in 2002, 2004,2005, 2006 and 2009 I keep an
active link with the homeland of Karate: Okinawa.
Currently I am only available for private lessons or seminars by appointment
in the Charlottesville VA area, I will travel to Appomattox VA, Lynchburg VA or Brookneal VA on a regular basis to assist
with other classes.
