Well, I am back in school headed for my masters in history
and secondary education. I have been training in
traditional Japanese arts since gradeschool- it all
started with Shotokan Karate and Kobudo and I found my way
to Kyohachi-Ryu Kenjutsu as a teen. Kenjutsu and
traditional training has led me to the practice of Zen and
Buddhism and peace I had not found elsewhere in life. I am
tattooed also, about 100hrs plus, it's all celtic and
japanese art with more to come. Music and the public are a
passion of mine too, I have worked in the
club/entertainment scene as security since highschool and
I've met some of my best friends around the stage.

I am searching for a woman, she knows herself well- her
dreams and terrors. Independant and driven she makes her
way in this life helping others along the way. She
carries compassion and her truth with her always, unafraid
of living well or sacrifice. There is a line I think
explains it well "In angels eyes we
see paradise, though in the eyes of our peers we see
the future of us all." Tetsu-no Mizudera
