I am in Florida and getting settled in. It is a definite challenge not knowing anyone or anything out here. Everything is going well so far. The job is excellent and for once I feel like I am working doing something I love to do. I am handling all of the Professional and Amateur boxing/Martial arts equipment, promotion, events and athlete sponsorship.

Lot's of work but very exciting. I started training again at Mr. Lavallees. My first class was interesting. I dawned a white belt and realized truly for the first time that it is just a color. I wore it with pride and was filled with such joy and love for the art itself and not the "wow your a black belt" appeal. I guess it is never to late to continue on the journey of "getting it". I will keep on the path of excellence and utilize everything you have taught me to be the best I can be. One thing that always comes to mind when thinking of Black Belt training was when all the adult candidates where gathered on the small mat and you asked one very important thing of us and it is stuck in my mind forever. You asked that we, no matter what always protect your name as you would ours. I have lived by that on a daily basis.

    I look forward to using the platform you generously gave me as a Martial Artist to better my knowledge in this new adventure I am taking in business, life and martial arts. I will keep you updated. I hope all is well with you and the entire TKC family .I love and miss you guys.

Love & Respect,
