Coaching isn’t about the person giving the lesson— it’s about the journey of the students learning the sport.

At Portland Fencing Center, every fencer is encouraged to challenge themselves, celebrate progress, and find joy in the process.

As founder of Portland Fencing Center I’ve dedicated more than two decades to teaching the art and discipline of fencing, drawing on years of experience in both competition and instruction. My student centered approach has led fencers to become champions, not only in competition, but in perseverance, confidence, and a lifelong love of fencing.

““The greatest reward is seeing my students achieve their own goals and fall in love with fencing for life.
