Many people put the likes of their own discipline and habits as the most important reason behind their success. We, however, allow our faith in God to steer our ship (business) in the direction God guides us.

I truly believe the most important factor behind someone’s success and definitely behind mine is a positive attitude. Don’t get me wrong some days it is easier than others but it’s always important to maintain this glass half full outlook. I have definitely run in to days where I feel like giving up because I didn’t get a gig I wanted or I feel defeated, but it’s so important to remember that it’s all part of the process. My ultimate goal I’m being a Tv and radio host/personality is to make other people smile and spread the love and light in a world that can sometimes be dark. Read More>>

I opened my Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qigong school here in Boulder back in 2007. I had a clear intention from the beginning: to carry on a traditional lineage in a way that was authentic – not watered down or repackaged, but taught the way I was taught, through direct transmission, structured practice, and years of repetition.
