Still a student (always will be) and a wannabe comedian.

I have a very short fuse when someone is either taking advantage of my good nature, or is abusive towards those I love or me. Been there. Done that.. Go take your medicine and leave me be...

I have a Masters Degree Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture from the AAAOM in Roseville MN Class of 2010 (This encompasses acupuncture, herbology,taiji/qigong andasianbodywork)

Certified Amma Therapist (Recognized Master by GGM TS) / Asian Bodywork Therapy, Trained under Great Grandmaster Tina Sohn and numerous first generation students of hers that became instructors under her at the New Center in Manhasset and the NY College for Holistic Health Care in Syosset NY.

I was the owner of State certified school for Amma Therapy /Asian Bodywork Therapy, Massage Therapy

(currently inactive status - not sure if I will open it again - probably not. Too much work and people don't appreciate the level of instruction.)

This school was also originally sanctioned by the late Great Grandmaster Tina Sohn, (founder of AMMA Therapy), and was one of the last sanctioned schools by her in the world. Other schools of Amma Therapeutic Massage were open but she did NOT sanction these schools.

Self employed through Healing Arts Centers WI.

I am a Master Reiki Practitioner and teacher but I don't use it if people are not comfortable with it.

Practitioner of Electroherbalism using the concepts of Royal Rife Therapy.

Started with formal classes in Martial Arts in 1972. Randomly practicing from books for 4-5 years prior to that. (with little success, I might add)

(Taekwon Do 1972-73, American Combat Karate 1973-75, Hapkido 1978-79 while living in Korea, Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu 80-91, Juko Ryu Bujutsu gradings 1992-2005, Bujinkan Ninjutsu/Budotaijutsu 1997- present)

Currently Chief Headmaster (Kaicho) of YamaMizu Renmei Bujutsu Kai Martial Arts Systems

(Was titled and recognized as a Soke / 10th Dan - but I believe this title and grading can only be used, inherited or claimed by others after my death. This is what I teach my students. No offense meant to others.. just keeping my own ego in check.)
