Sam began his career in flexibility and strength with gymnastics at the age of 10.  Sam's first Yoga teacher was his Mom who trained with Billie Golnick.

In 2005 Sam was referred to Grandmaster Moses Williams Jr. by a friend's father who knew that Sam had an interest in learning kung fu.  For the next two years, Sam trained in Si Lum Pai Hung Gar kung fu, also known as Tiger/Crane style.  Later he began teaching the style. 

After reaching third degree black sash, Sam decided to move from Austin to Houston where he immediately began taking Yoga classes and quickly enrolled in the Boustany teacher training program.  He has continued his teacher training studies after graduating the year-long course.

Sam wants everyone to know that if they come to his kung fu class there the only expectation is to close your eyes, jump in, and don't get too overwhelmed.  If you plan to attend his Yoga class, you can expect to challenge yourself in a non-serious environment.
