I am a first degree black belt in Mu-Do-Kai Mugendo and I have been learning the art of karate ever since I was nine years old from Sensei Robert Heale Mason. I am 27 now and I continue to train in class and compete in tournaments. My first tournament was in Middle School and my most recent was this year, 2003. My father, Brian Stamp is a third degree black belt, my stepmother, Brenda Mayer is a second degree black belt and my brother, Otis Stamp is a brown belt in this style as well.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Florida State University, which I've used to play guitar in two bands: The Oski Foundation and currently Nature's Fury. You can purchase my music at the karate school for $10 and/or be on my e-mail list by sending your request to naturesfuryband@yahoo.com. I feel music and karate go hand in hand. Both are graceful and strong. I can imagine my life without them being barren. I have taught in the past and am available for private lessons at $50 per hour if you contact me at naturesfuryband@yahoo.com.

My day job is working for my father at Groden/Stamp Construction, Inc. doing various tasks, such as website updates, scheduling, site supervising, and estimating. Our website is www.grodenstamp.com and we've been in business for 20 years doing historical art deco restoration and commercial construction.
