Duane began training at Grasshoppers in September of 2006 when the Dartmouth School first opened its doors. He had always had an interest in the Martial Arts, and was looking for a way to get in shape. To this day his enthusiasm for learning and instructing continues to grow. This is evident in the fact that Duane rarely misses a class and is always willing to help out on any adventure.

Duane earned his Masters Degree in 2020 and we are so very proud of all he has accomplished.

Duane says that one of the best things about being a student & instructor is passing on what he has learned and watching other students grow as they progress through the ranks.
