I began my ninjitsu journey at 16y/o. Since then I have accumulated 8 years of dedicated training. Some breaks were taken to pursue university and post grad education in addition to career advancements. I received my shodan in 2013 and my Yondon in 2019. I am a personal student of Shihan Frank Hill and a student of Shihan Fabio Hernandez. I am the second generation with my family to be a dedicated student of Ninjitsu. Everyone is on their own journey, but for me... Ninjitsu is not just a hobby or an art form, it is a way of life. Ninjitsu has helped provide understanding and meaning during difficult times. It has shaped, humbled and guided me on my spiritual path to the present. I look forward to its continued guidance in the future.
