 I started college again in January of 1992 at Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, Texas. I put myself through college working as a polysomnagraphic technician (sleep disorder technician.) It was my responsibility to prepare the patients for the monitoring of brain wave activity, respiration, blood oxygen saturation, rapid eye movement and heart rate. The purpose was to determine sleep apnea, a condition where people stop breathing in their sleep for small periods of time. I would then monitor them throughout the night, making notations for Dr. Sabri Derman. If indicated, I would on the second night, by orders from Dr. Derman, monitor the patient with the application of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine. In May of 1994, I graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Science with a heavy emphasis on chemistry and biology. I continued to work as a sleep study technician until September of 1994. I moved to Columbus, Ohio where I worked as a fitness instructor. While in Columbus, I studied Bondo (Burmese style kickbocking) under the instruction of Dr. Tim Flemings. I moved to Miami in August of 1996 and soon started my training of Yang style Taiji Quen under the direction of Lewis Paleias. Lewis Paleias is a coach instructor under Dr. Yang Jwing Ming. His instruction has involved the Long Form (108 movements), weapons training, martial applications, Qi-gong and Chin-na (Joint locking).
