I believe happiness is a long path toward self mastery. A walk into creativity, personal challenges and being true to oneself.

Since 2001 I have been working for a great canadian telecommunication company. I love my current marcom job and I do encounter plenty of interesting people, but sill, I feel the constant need to go further on a personal level. It is an undying urge to find out about the stuff I am made of.

Six years ago I took , just for fun, a class of ITF Taekwondo and fell in love with the Art. Without any expectation, I started the journey that changed not only my life but my entire perception of it .

For the first time in many years I was true to my nature. I am a fighter fueling on the desire to stand above the crowd.

Getting painfully back into shape and learning the art of fighting at an age that most practitioners retire taught me that nothing is impossible when we really want it. No matter what others think or say. Everybody has an opinion but you have only one voice. Sing your song.

Sounds obvious? Too many people just forget it as they grow older.

I do not. My goal is to get selected for the 2016 Junior and Veteran ITF World Championship. Let's see if can make it !
