While serving his country, he was stationed in Japan where he had the opportunity to study under several great Masters. He then deployed to Vietnam, where he experienced real life hand-to-hand combat for survival. He received 3 Purple Hearts while serving his country in Vietnam.

Following his service in Vietnam, he was in the Philippines and studied Arnes, the Philippine Martial Art of Stick, Knife and Open Hand fighting.

At the conclusion of his military career, he became a Police Officer and attended many Defensive Tactics Training classes.

Since then, he has trained hundreds of Police Officers in Knife defense, unusual weapons defense, and basic street survival.
