I gained my initial physical training experience while serving 4 and a half years in the Royal Australian Army where I was responsible for the individual level of physical fitness attained for the 8/12 Artillery Regiment B Company. The unit strength was approximately 40-50 men at any given time.
After completing my tenure with the military I proceeded to work in the private sector as a personal trainer for Jens Health Connection in Sydney Australia while continuing my martial arts pursuits.
During my time in Sydney I completed my training in Wing Chun Kung Fu attaining the rank of Sifu, won the Australian national and N.S.W state kickboxing titles for the supermiddleweight division, and opened 5 martial arts schools throughout the Melbourne metropolitan area with an active membership of almost 500 students acquired in less then 2yrs. I have been involved in the study of martial arts for over 28yrs with experience in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Boxing, and Jeet Kune Do.
Upon my arrival in NY I have been teaching martial arts for the last 10yrs both as classes and privately with clients such as the actor Scott Glen, supermodel Katja Kumlin, members of the German police force, and the head of security for the WWE. I am currently employed by Equinox as a senior level personal trainer (Tier 3) for the past 4yrs.
