About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep 'em on a leash.

ABOUT ME

I moved to Suisun City, California from Adana, Turkey in 2013. I like it here but I probably will not stay much longer.
I believe most people live their lives backwards.
My sense of humor can be a bit dry and twisted. I have learned to laugh at just about anything life throws my way.
There is never a bad time to listen to Bob Marley.
I live for adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not take ANY moment for granted. Every experience has a lesson.
We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
One Love

Subscribe to: Men's Health and Psychology Today.

A few movies: Slumdog Millionaire, Boondock Saints, Fight Club, What Dreams May Come, Wedding Crashers, Zombie Land, Batman Dark Knight, Anchor Man, The Book of Eli, Borat, The Lion King.

Basically, I enjoy music I can feel, not just hear.
Right now, I'm really into the motown sound like Aloe Blacc.
Favorite show ever was Erykah Badu.
Don't care for screamo, house, or honky tonk.

I prefer my pasta al dente.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fathering my daughter :)
Skydiving
Competing in the ring
Falling in love
...is that more than one?

Teach, Learn, Share

The obvious one is that I teach many types of competitive martial arts and self-defense.
I also enjoy helping my friends socially/ psychologically (not by professional means).
I enjoy instructing fitness and nutrition.
I'm sure there are others :)
I'm always looking to pick up skills in new instruments.
