Holland

At a very young age, I lied about my age and got a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant named The Wagon Wheel. One of the cooks at the restaurant was a Japanese shotokan karate expert and noticed I moved very quickly around the kitchen. He taught me the basics of karate. I began training in aikido under master Harry Kiyoshi Ishisaka, founder of the Orange County Aikido School (Orange County Aiki Kai) (OCAK). I consider him to have been the most important martial arts teacher in my life. I moved to Japan in my late teens after I went to Japan with my father who was visiting for military purposes and met karate masters and decided to remain in Japan.
