I am a father to 4 loving, sweet, funny incredible children - 2 girls and 2 boys who I teach and train in various martial arts as well. I received my nick name “Alpha” from my group of friends who train with me at Plus One Defense Systems by being a good role model with the most experience and for taking on a leadership and mentoring role within the group. I received my Brown Belt in August 2017 from Marco Delima who is currently a 3rd degree Black Belt through Marcus Aurelio who is currently a 5th degree Black Belt. I work at Plus One Defense Systems as a Martial Arts Instructor in various martial arts and I teach students from age 5 up to adults.
