I believe I met you a number of years ago when you were still in Missouri. I know Randy Pierce well (and I’m one of Randy Russell’s students). I think your Kodoan card is good evidence, but hopefully having some of the Missouri Judo crowd vouch for you will also be helpful.

I'm sure we crossed paths at some point. I'm sad I wasn't in town for the last tournament. Randy is my father in law.

I had to miss the last Show Me State Games because of travel. It's cool that Randy is your father in law. We're lucky in Missouri to have such a strong judo community.
