⚫️🟡THANK YOU, PITTSBURGH! 🟡⚫️
I am incredibly humbled, grateful, and honored to be named one of Pittsburgh Magazine’s
40 Under 40 — recognizing 40 of the most influential people making an impact in our city!
This moment means more to me than I can put into words.
Since my college days at Point Park University, & teaching in the city of Pittsburgh, being recognized among Pittsburgh’s 40 Under 40 has been a goal I quietly carried with me. But the goal was never simply to make a list.
It was to earn my place through service, impact, and giving back to the city that has given so much to me.
Through martial arts, I’ve had the privilege of empowering our community, building confidence in the next generation, creating opportunities, and helping people discover the BEST version of themselves!
To now see that work recognized in this way is something I will never take for granted. 🙏🏽
Pittsburgh, THANK YOU. 🖤💛
Thank you for believing in me, supporting the mission, and allowing me the opportunity to serve this incredible community.

I’m beyond grateful to be a small part of it💛
