How would you describe yourself?
I’m originally from the US and have been living in Utrecht for the past three years. In the US I trained Muay Thai for 8 years and earned my second-degree black belt. Martial arts have been instrumental in shaping who I am today, and continues to be a huge influence in my life. I love spending time with my partner of 9 years, connecting with friends, and getting out and exploring the world around me near and far.
Why have you joined REFLEX?
I joined REFLEX because it is a self defense school that practices respect for oneself and others, teaches discipline and skill, all while creating a really positive and fun atmosphere.
What do you do besides teaching (what work/job)?
I own Haskin Consulting and provide administrative and other consulting work for small businesses, individuals and non-profits.
What other sports do you do to stay fit?
Kickboxing, yoga, biking, walking/hiking, & (when the weather is nice) kayaking.
What’s your favourite food?
Burgers
What did you want to become as a kid?
Criminologist
What is your biggest dream?
To move to an island somewhere and run an eco-farm where people can come to stay on holiday.
Fun Fact / What did you always want to say?
One of my favourite new traditions since moving here is during summer holiday, to find a remote place to stay for a few days with no electricity/running water to be able to really check out and decompress.
