Personal

I started practicing karate as an adult. At first, karate was an activity to try while marathon and triathlon training. Then it became an activity I could share with my step-son who had been training and competing for several years. As I started to meet other karatekas and competing, I became hooked. I wanted to learn more, train more, and test my skills through competition....My wife introduced me to endurance sports and I have competed in many marathons and triathlons. ...Despite my vision loss, I actively participate in kumite training and, on occasion, kumite competition. ...I collaborate with colleagues around the world to conduct and publish academic research on human potentials in the face of adversity.
