joro

Joseph is a native of Northern Virginia, and started fencing at age 8. He took lessons at Virginia Academy of Fencing, and within his first few years, began competing at the club and regionally through USFA. He took a break from the sport during his junior year in high school, and began fencing with George Mason Fencing Club in his senior year in high school as a part-time student at the university. Joseph mainly fences foil, but has also begun saber. His coaches have included Alexei Sintchinov, Stuart Sacks, and Frank Kelly, among others.

 
Treasurer: Joshua Reed
joshua reed Josh's primary weapon discipline is epee, the modern derivative of the original dueling sword. Within the United States Fencing Association (USFA) he holds the rank of E09 as an epeeist, and endeavors to rise higher. For those of you who don't know rankings go from E alphabetically up to A, with A being the highest. Epee fits his personality because, like the rules governing the discipline, he is an all or nothing kind of person. Currently he is the Club Treasurer and Epee Captain.
