Journey to Manzanar

I enjoy different sports activities. Playing tennis and slow-pitch softball are at the top of my list.

I have a 3rd degree black belt in kendo and a brown belt in judo and karate. And I have had a couple of semesters of aikido here at Palomar College. More important, the martial arts has taught me discipline, respect, control, awareness, honor, and has given me a keep trying attitude.


I started practicing kendo in 1985.
