Wendy

Wendy was born and raised in Wisconsin and spent most of her adult life in the Chicagoland area. She met her husband Dave while attending Purdue University. She worked in the health care industry for over 12 years while trying to complete school. In 2001 Wendy received her BS in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina – Charlotte and has since dedicated herself to her family, raising her two boys Michael – 4 and Joey-9 months and trying to keep up with her step children Meghan and Garrett.

She initially gained interest in Choi Kwang Do while in search of an activity for her then toddler. Her goal was to find something for Michael where he could expel some energy and have fun but in a safe and nurturing environment. Having found exactly that and much more she decided to give training a try also. Wendy has always been a member at a gym but was never motivated to go more than sporadically. In this martial art she has found more than just a fantastic exercise regimen that is always new and challenging – she has found a great stress reliever, great new friends, a new more positive attitude and the motivation to be there on as regular a basis as a new mom can be.

She looks forward to her first black belt, continuing her training and spreading her enthusiasm as an assistant instructor.
