Self-Managed
I’m the 2023 National Champion, #1 national point holder for Veteran 50 Men’s Epee in fencing and also a current World Team member in which I compete this October. Yes I’m 50 years old, but I still can hang with the top fencers in the world. I’m 6’5, 200 lbs and competitive even with Div1 athletes. I achieved my goal this year of getting on the USA Veteran World Team and I plan on competing in Div1 next season. This requires more travel to national and international tournaments. I’m looking for sponsorship partners that can support travel expenses and a reasonable stipend for any required media needs. My story is that I started fencing just over 4 years ago. I picked up a sword for the first time on Dec 2018 at age 46. Since then the learning curve was steep. I’ve got into the flow finding my own style. I’m definitely not a traditional fencer as my coach calls me feral which makes me unconventional and difficult for many people to fence. Also I’m right handed but I fence left handed. Fencing is the only thing I can do with my left hand. I can’t throw a ball, write my name, anything, except wield a sword effectively with my left. I’ve been an athlete my whole life but never so successful at this level. I have a unique story, tall, fit and I think I’m a compelling persona for a wide range of sponsors.

Genisys Credit Union, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has done something most brands never do with athlete sponsorship: it kept renewing. What started as a single partnership with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has become a multi-year, two-athlete program that Genisys has renewed and expanded every season since 2024, adding Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in 2025 and renewing him again in 2026.
