I’m the owner of Northern Colorado Martial Arts Academy.
When I was a child, I began my martial arts journey and the positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. It was always my dream to someday open my own school and pass on the skills, knowledge, and inspiration Pencak Silat has given to me.
I was born and raised in Colorado and enjoy mountaineering, fishing, and freestyle skiing with my wife and kids. I began my martial arts journey in 1987 practicing Shotokan in Englewood, Colorado. I have been tested and certified in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and hold the rank of International 9th degree Black Belt with Close Quarter Combat Instructor certification. I have had the privilege of studying pencak silat and serving as intern of Lakutama under Ki Poleng Sudamala 10th deg. Inti Ombak, Tjahyadi Tanudjaja 10th deg. Inti Ombak , and Daniel Prasetya 10th deg. Inti Ombak, direct descendant of Hamengkubuwono I, the first Sultan of the Mataram-Jogja kingdom, while studying in Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Jarkarta Indonesia.
I received my National level 1 Wasit/Juri certification and National level 1 coach certification for international competition sport silat, from PERSILAT, the world governing body of the sport, while in Indonesia in 2018.
I also currently serve as President of U.T.A.M.A., United Teachers Association for Martial Arts a 501c3 non profit, President of USSSA, (PERSILAT) United States Sports Silat Association, President of PSFA, (PERSILAT) Pencak Silat Federation of the Americas, and I am U.S. Center for SAFESPORT certified.
Now, I proudly serve the Eaton community and feel an overwhelming sense of pride and humility when I see our students grow into happier, healthier, more confident children, teens, and adults!
