“My wife is the strongest, goofiest, most beautiful-ist (not a word, I know), most stubborn, passionate, kindest, and generous person I've ever known. To put our story in a nutshell, we met in Taekwondo when I was 9 years old. I knew I'd marry her. Our families trained and won multiple championships together. She moved (was sad). And then she came back to attend Sacramento State where we were reunited. 20 years later we got together, started training Muay Thai kickboxing together (she can really beat me up), got married, and now we have a beautiful daughter. Love can be a tricky game. I was introduced to the love of my life 20 years before I actually had an opportunity to go after her. It took me a long time to crawl my way out of the friend zone but I finally did and I wouldn't have it any other way.”
