How my student-athlete experience prepared me for where I am today
"My student-athlete experience developed many of the physical and mental skills that I use in my current work."

My most memorable moment as a University of Chicago athlete
"My most memorable experience as a U of C athlete was participating in Irwin 'Bud' Beyers acro theatre."

What I am doing today, and how I got there
"I have developed an aikido-based approach to training youth and adults in physical and verbal nonviolence. It has increasing international recognition through AikiExtensions, Inc (a U of C based initiative under Prof. Don Levine, Sensei.)"
