About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and continue to grow

ABOUT ME

In University, I started a self-defense company dedicated to protecting women. Angels with Attitude. http://www.angelswithattitude.tv

I am currently an English teacher at Youngsan University in South Korea. I have trained in Mixed Martial Arts for over 15 years. I travel all over the world every chance I get.

In the next 5 years, my dream is to continue to travel the world, train in mixed martial arts and if I see the right opportunity, start another company.

I am writing a book which is a safety and cultural guide for Koreans traveling to the United States. Still haven't thought of the name yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift to the world
