Hand and glove, my military and police experience has developed my life and my martial arts. I am honored to have served my country, community and state. Starting in the USAR as a 11B3x then transfering to active duty as an Air Force Security Policeman. My military career lasted eight years and covered many different duties. My longest tour of duty was in Okinawa which lasted four years. After the military I performed duties as a deputy sheriff (see pic of me in a marijuana field) and then a Virginia State Trooper. These positions afforded me the experience of applying my martial skill in concept, spirit, teaching and in physical application.
