Business Owner

I have been training with Tae Kwon Do since birth, practically! You may remember me from the old «Nobody Bothers Me» commercials back in the early 70’s and 80’s. I was the one who said «Nobody Bothers Me Either!» and winked at the end. The other child in the commercial was my younger sister Meme. That commercial aired for over 15 years in the Washington DC area.

The greatest benefit Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do has given me over the years is that it has helped me with my other hobbies. As a child, I loved playing soccer and I was always a little more agile and flexible than the other kids on my team. Currently, I am an avid golfer and many of the principles of balance and power taught in tae kwon do are applied to the golf game.

I am a 5^th degree black belt under the Jhoon Rhee system and have been running the family business since 1992. I graduated from the College of William and Mary and I am happily married to my beautiful wife Lisa Lee.
