How Long Have You Been With RWTB/RBWI?: "I started taking classes at RWTB in December, 2002"
Why Did You Join?:"It was not really my idea to join. My children had been taking classes for about a year when they decided to
give me a membership as a gift. However, I have to say that not too long after I started, I was hooked."
Favorite RWTB/RBWI Moment?: "There have been many great moments, but I think my favorite would have to be when my son and I
promoted to black belt together in December of 2004. It was an amazing experience to be able to share
with him and I truly believe that doing martial arts as a family brings us closer together!"
What advice would you give to beginning students who hope to someday be black belts?: "I would say stick with it and work hard. You get out of martial arts what you put into it; so hard work in class
always pays off!"
Weapon of Choice?: "Long staff."
What are 3 (non-martial arts) activities that you enjoy?: "Reading (favorite author: Stephen King), Weightlifting, and playing video games with my kids."
What person/people in RBWI or RWTB would you consider your role model(s)? (Who influenced you?): "Obviously Sabum, James Rosenbach, has been the biggest influence in my training. If it weren’t for the
encouragement from Sabum early in my training, I don’t know how far I would have made it. Sabum
believed in me before I believed in myself and that is something that has had a positive influence in all
aspects of my life: family, work, school and martial arts. All of the black belts who were there to help along
the way have been my inspiration to stay on this journey! Especially Jesse Kiefer, Darrol Prusia, Henry K,
Eliss Hall, Al Bailey and many more. Of course, none of us would be where we are without Sabum."
