I'm a 35 year veteran guitarist and martial artist. I'm a neoclassical and rock instrumentalist. I've studied and trained in Aikido, American Kenpo, and Western Boxing. As an avid outdoorsman, I can usually be found camping, fishing, hunting, shooting, or hiking. I enjoy cooking, drinking lots of coffee, and studying -- I'm an autodidact... My studying and research is never done!
