Hi

[Cujo]

Just stopping by to say hello. My name is Steve Talbott and I am from Hicksville Ohio ( yes, it's honestly Hicksville, and yes, it's o.k. to laugh). I have been intrested in the martial arts since I was a teenager with a background in American Freestyle karate, TKD, and some kick boxing. I didn't really buckle down and get serious until I became a police officer 9 years ago. I am a veteran of the US Navy and US Army Special Operations (Psyops). I am the departments Defensive tactics instructor, ASP instructor and I assist in teaching at the Paulding police academy. I love all forms of the martial arts and look forward to interacting with you all.

Hi! Welcome the MT, hope you have fun here.

P.S. Just curious, what region is Hicksville in OH (I travel threw OH alot)

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

WooHoo! Another Ohioan! Hicksville, y'say? Sounds Ohio-y. I'm in Thornville, myself.

Your background is intriguing, Cujo. Welcome to MT and enjoy your time here!

Thanks again for the welcome everyone. Hicksville is located in Defiance county in the Northwest corner of Ohio. You could throw a rock and hit Indiana.
