Instructor Profile
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, which at that time was nationally ranked in the top five for murder per capita. My family was very poor and as many of the youths in my position, I seemed to be fighting all the time. If I wasn't fighting to protect myself, I was fighting to protect my three sisters. I didn't consider myself a good fighter, but I seemed to win because my cause was always righteous. My cause, along with the rage one gets sometimes from being poor, made me a worthy opponent. My life experiences--in addition to an efficient, practical, yet powerful martial art--sum up my mental growth over the last twenty-nine years.

As President and Chief Instructor of Lee's Chinese Martial Arts Federation, my first commitment is to improve the quality of life for my students, to be healthy while learning the fundamentals of fighting and self defense.

 My skills have evolved due to the nature of my employment. For 16 years, I was employed by a Job Corps--educating some of the toughest young adults in the United States. Wing Chun Fut, a non-destructive fighting style, has enabled me to move my Job Corps center from being ranked 70th to 1st in the nation for the least acts of violence.  After over 30 years of Kung-Fu experience--with 7 near-death experiences(4 of them were attack from Humans who want to kill me)
