About Me: I am a dedicated Soo Bahk Do practitioner, holding the rank of Sam Dan (3rd-degree black belt) and serving as a certified Kyo Sa (instructor). Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege and pleasure of training in Region 9 under Dollby Sa Bom Nim, Region 3 under Bannard Sa Bom Nim, and now in my home Region 10 under Rosenthal Sa Bom Nim. I have also competed at regional and national levels, earning multiple first, second, and third-place awards in sparring and forms, including being named Orange Belt Adult Grand Champion at the 26th Annual Region 9 Championship. My passion lies in preserving and promoting the traditions of Moo Duk Kwan through continued training and instruction.\r\n\r\nProfessionally, I am the Founder and CEO of Kaczmarek Digital Media Group, Inc. (KDMG, Inc.), with extensive experience in content acquisition, digital distribution, and strategic business development. My background includes leadership roles at Warner Bros., Echo Bridge Entertainment, ContentBridge Systems, and Good Deed Entertainment. I am also the founder of ManifestTV, a wellness-focused OTT platform. With an Executive MBA from the University of Oregon and a Bachelor of Science in Film Production from Ithaca College, I bring a unique blend of business acumen and creative expertise to both my professional and martial arts endeavors.
Interests: In addition to my dedication to Soo Bahk Do, I enjoy exploring other martial arts disciplines in my spare time, including Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and tactical arms defense. Outside of martial arts, I have a passion for cooking, wine and beer making, hiking, and traveling. Most importantly, I love spending time with my amazing fiancée, Tracy, our dogs, and family.
Favorite Movies: \"As someone in the film industry, picking a favorite movie is like choosing a favorite child—impossible! I appreciate films across all genres, from classic cinema to groundbreaking indie projects. For me, it’s all about compelling storytelling, visionary direction, and the emotional impact a film leaves on its audience.\"
Favorite Music: *\"While my music taste is broad, I have to confess—I’m a closeted metalhead. I enjoy all subgenres of metal, from classic heavy metal to the most extreme variations. Fun fact: in another life, I was a drummer and played in few metal bands in the ‘90s. Though I’m retired from drumming, my love for powerful riffs, intricate rhythms, and raw energy in music hasn’t faded.\r\n\r\nI especially appreciate progressive music structures, but I’m also a sucker for good old classic rock. Whether it\'s complex time signatures or timeless anthems, great music is all about emotion, creativity, and storytelling.\"*
