My Journey

I started doing karate when I was very young. My father owns a karate studio called Syracuse Martial Arts Kenkyukai in Syracuse, New York where I grew up. My dad taught me all of the foundations' of karate that made me the fighter I am today. Now I train at Pennsylvania Shotokan Karate Club in Pittsburgh, PA and train  under National Team Coach, Dustin Baldis. I work hard everyday to achieve my dream of one day represent USA in the World Karate Championships as a top fighter in the United States.
