Personal background
My Life:
No matter what rank, status, title, or level of skill you have; self-learning and developing of one-self is a life long journey. Only true Martial Artist understand this and it have nothing to do with a belt.

I'm CUNY student currently attending BMCC as exercise in studying skills building, self-dsicpline training and subject/course skills building for going to a back to a four year college and then on to graduate school.

I was born with Dylexia and ADHA/ADD and I always had interest in computers, networks, hacking, and science since I was a kid.

In High School my special skills were computers and sciences. I do not why? By College I get a bug for Theater and Film, I enrolled at Hunter College and got envolved with Acting and NYPIRG. My grades drop and I was academically dismiss and told to get my act together and come back. I opened my own martial arts school for money and try to work as an actor full-time. Well, after 9/11 business was down and I was where I want to be. I got offer to goto New Horzions Computer Learning Center to be in the Boot camp program. I earned my A+, Network +, MCP, MCSA, CCNA, Security + Certifications and was reminded how much I loved science and computers. I closed down my school and went back to college.

I am a dedicated information technology professional with extensive 8 years of experience in systems and network administration and desktop support. Who possesses the enthusiasm for work, strong desire to succeed and commitment to continuous skill development that help build confidence and high level motivation to achieve desired results with a love of computers. I built my first computer at age 13 and in High School my special skills in high school were computers and general sciences; before that between the ages from 6 to 12 my father would send to after school programs to learn how to use a computer and I learn my first programming language BASIC.

My goals right now are finishing my Applied Associate of Science in Computer Science and updating my I.T. Professional Certifications.





Another Life:
As an Artist in High School i took art class once a week and Black & White Photography. I draw a lot to pass the time, Spider-man and Iron-Man stuff from my comics. I lot time ago at one I did want to be a comic book artist (I wanted to be a lot of things growing up, lol.). I was in the Cooper Union Saturday Program for high school students; and when I was at Hunter College I took some art courses ( I almost complete enough classes to graduate with a BFA but change majors; O didn’t that a lot, my first time in college). I try when I can to take weekend classes the Art Student’s League in New York.
So, what killed the dream...the first time through? Please, read "The Adventures of ~Blackjack-Davie & ~colucas"...lol!
Ok, ~Blackjack-Davie got an interview with Marvel Comics, they gave him a project, draw in the Marvel style with Marvel characters a panel. Theme "Find some to beat Galactus." ~Blackjack-Davie comes back to my house and ask who could be Galactus, well my answer at the time was Unicron. I wrote and short story and ~Blackjack-Davie draw it. Well, he didn't get the job, them told him it looked to manga (Mind you, I have the prints still and it was in the Marvel just no the style Marvel was using a the time)and Marvel didn't do Manga. A month later Marvel launched "Marvel Manga!" Any Question?

My Life in Anime Form:
J.C. finally did it. He got me back into artwork and drawing; it’s been a long time. I am don't think I am talented at all. J.C. wanted me to join him on this journey to start his own multimedia company by first selling comics. I agree and I thought it mite be fun. I enjoy writing. He to start finishing my poetry, then draw some sketches to go with the poems…then write more stories, more and more I got back into drawing and painting; then this weekend I found out the real reason he asked me to join him:
”I am Kazuki Sendō from Comic Party;” the last 4 to 5 years has been this story. My life was turn into a Japanese Dating SIM. I have never seen the series before this weekend and the parallels to actual events in our lives and people we have met are amazing and scary.
So I have accepted my fate, I going to start practicing again, I setup some time management to work on my artwork and still go to work and my classes.
(I will get back at for turn my life into a living Japanese Anime; but it has been fun.)

My life in Martial Arts
I began studying the in the Bujinkan Dojo in summer of 1992 at New York Budo under Jean-Pierre Seibel, Shidoshi, and Carol Ceramicoli. Charles has been training in Budo Taijutsu 19 years and Award and Shidoshi-ho (Junior or Assistant Teacher) in 1998.

Charles Studying budo Taijutsu over the 19 years has and continues to train with many different Bujinkan dojo teachers Masaaki Hatsumi, Soke; Stephen & Rumiko Hayes, shihan, Rob Flanagan, Shihan; Jeff Christian, Shihan; Jack Hoban, Shihan; Joe Maurantonio, shihan; Sean Askew, Shihan; Christopher Chen, Shidoshi, to name only a few and continues to attend workshops and seminars through out the year with other Bujinkan dojo teachers to get full picture of Hatsumi, soke teachings.

In Conclusion
My life has been much better for it. I just had to fit in with JC image of how he wants to live it. Shit!!! (I'm not a Good Artist, I'm just a crazy Anime Toon!) I need to accept myself and who I am instead of trying fitting in with everyone else.
