I began training martial arts in 1989 and received my first black belt in 1994. From 1995 - 2004 I owned and operated my own martial arts studio, Kid Billy Tang Soo Do / Soo Bahk Do in La Jolla California. In addition to running my martial arts studio, in 1998 I began a career as a personal trainer. It's been a combined 19 years that I have been in both the martial arts and fitness industries. Over the years I've competed both on the regional and national levels. In 1998 I was selected to represent our martial arts organization in world team competition during the Arnold Classic Body Building Competition, in Columbus Ohio. Our team finished 8th out of 20 teams from around the world.

Today I hold a 3rd degree black belt, and preparing for my 4th Dan Master level. I own and operate SWEAT Fitness SD, LLC in La Jolla California. I am the creator and founder of CROSS-BOX Training Certification workshops, and CROSS-BOX Total Body Workout. I work with athletes ranging from football, baseball, soccer, tennis, surfing, and of course mixed martial arts (MMA), youth athletics, and more. In addition to working with athletes, my clientele also includes, doctors, lawyers, stock brokers, restaraunt owners, investors, bankers, dentist, advertisers, retailers, moms, dads, couples...well just about anyone who is as serious about their training as I am about helping every client reach their personal health and fitness goals and objectives.

When I'm not working with clients, conducting Cross-Box Training Certification workshops, or doing my own training, I enjoy spending time with my two kids Lexi and Christian, surfing, training martial arts, running, writing, doing charitable work, and attending church.
