Sifu's interest in martial arts started as a skinny little kid in the 70's when he was bullied almost everyday at school. He was enthralled by the skills of Bruce Lee and his cousin Ken (TKD Black Belt) Memories of playing Monkey in the back yard with a black and gold staff show he was destined to do Kung Fu one day. From that point on his dreams were to join the Army and to train in Martial Arts. Due to living in a small country town, Sifu was unable to train in Kung Fu and had to choose the other disciplines of Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Eventually in the late 80's after joining the Australian Infantry, he started training in the styles of Wing Chun, Jow Ga Kung Fu, Lion Dance, Dragon Dance and Wu Style Tai Chi under Grandmaster Tom Lo (Blitz Magazine Instructors Hall of Fame Winner).

In 1994 he opened his first branch for Grandmaster Lo and achieved Black Belts in Wing Chun, Jow Ga and Tai Chi.

In 1997 the current school was opened and still has some of the original students who are now senior instructors.

In 1998 and 1999 the school won the Quest Business Achievers Award for Fitness & Sport.

In 2000 he was bestowed the honour of becoming a Sifu by Grandmaster Lo.

In 2006 Sifu was awarded once again for his business achievements by winning the Quest Business Achiever Award.

Over the past 15 years Sifu has began training with Jow Ga expert Sifu Randy Sullivan Bennett, BJJ expert John B Will, American Top Team Head Coach Master Ricardo Liborio, Australian Martial Arts Acting Legend Richard Norton, World Kickboxing Legend Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, Edged weapons expert Ray Floro, Extreme Martial Arts World Champion Mike Chat, Hyper Martial Arts creator Roland Osbourne and world renowned Lion Dance Sifu H.P. Siow. as well as continuing to train under Grandmaster Lo.

Sifu travels internationally regularly to train and improve the standard of Martial Arts taught at Red Dragon.

He was awarded the 2010 Australian Martial Arts Professional of the Year for his efforts and contributions to the Martial Arts in Australia. Later in 2010, Red Dragon was awarded Australian Top Martial Arts School by EFC in Washington DC.
