I began my journey in Krav Maga back in 2004 during high school at America’s Best Chatsworth Karate under the guidance of Beau Dourcher, Nathan Carlen, and Grand Master Cox. Since then, I have remained dedicated to my training at the same academy, except for a brief hiatus while serving in the US Air Force as a TACP. Upon my return, I resumed teaching at America’s Best Chatsworth Krav Maga, where I have been imparting knowledge for well over 10 years. Through hard work and perseverance, I have steadily climbed the ranks and recently achieved the esteemed rank of 4th Degree Black Belt within the American Krav Maga Federation. Inspired by my passion for self-defense education, I founded Golden State Self Defense with the mission of empowering individuals with the skills necessary for self-preservation, so that others may “walk in peace."
