I was born and raised in Dandenong, Victoria, Australia.  As a kid I loved martial arts and idolized Bruce Lee.  My passion for martial arts drew me to study Judo and Jujitsu before I found the first style that Bruce Lee first learned: Wing Chun.  I took my first class when I was 20 and it was love at first pak-sao-punch (one of the first techniques Wing Chun practitioners learn).  The speed, efficiency, power, and ease of performing this technique immediately hooked me in.  I saw wing chun as a simple, effective martial art based on science and that hasn’t changed.
