Ninja: I found the ninja community in 2019 at Ninjas United when it was still run out of a garage. Since then I have continued to train and improve my skills just like everyone else. Currently I coach the adult advanced classes at Ninjas United.
NCNS: In 2019 I was asked to be the League ambassador to help promote NCNS. This quickly evolved into a much more involved role as I help to facilitate and coordinate between the gyms.
