I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana where I was exposed to stage combat in 2006. In the year of 2007, I participated in a fencing class at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. This ultimately led to my love for blade work. I began my formal training in 2008 at the University of the Arts, and have worked as an apprentice to Fight Master Ian Rose at Temple University from 2012-2013. I have received a Recommended Proficiency in Spear, Sword & Shield, Unarmed, Knife, Rapier & Dagger, and Broadsword; a Basic Proficiency in Single Sword and Small Sword. Cuba continues training at whatever workshop she can bring her beautiful daughters along to. 

Currently, I am based in New Orleans, and I am teaching Talented Theatre at Harry Hurst Middle School in Destrehan, LA. I'm also Associate Artistic Director to the theatre company nolaNOW, visit our site here and come see some of our works when you're in town! I hope to one day attend the TCW.
