Competitive Background:

I started competing in gymnastics at age 5 and competed through high school. I did club gymnastics from 5-14 competing up to class 2 which is like Level 8 now. Then my freshman year of High school I joined Bryan High Schools Gymnastics Team. After high school I transitioned to TaeKwonDo. Two weeks after I started TaeKwonDo I competed in my first tournament as a white belt. Six months later at the Texas State Championships as a yellow belt my instructor put me into the Black Belt Division and I ended up taking 2nd in the Black Belt Division losing to the current National Team Member. The rest of my competitive TaeKwonDo years I competed in the Black Belt division winning many tournaments, State Championships, Nationals Championships, US Open and Qualified for Olympic Trials in 2000. The last time I competed in TaeKwonDo was in 2003.
