CURRENT MISSION

Save the Cheerleader, Save the World

ABOUT ME

Yeah - I'm a graduating 5th year senior from UC Davis and a member of the UCD Army ROTC. After college, I want to travel to Japan and see the world before entering into military service.

I enjoy various sports and activities, but my passion is Judo.

There's other stuff, but I'm too lazy to write about it.

PHILOSOPHY

The thing is to find a truth which is true for me,
to find the idea for which I can live and die

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once guessed a strangers last name (it was Hechavarria). I also caught a pager in the dark with my eyes closed for across a room (long story).

Teach, Learn, Share

As far as teaching goes, I can show you how to defend yourself using various martial arts techniques; I'm always eager to showcase my Judo and teach people who are interested.
