Andrew Tate, (Martial Arts) Junior Instructor / Ethical Hacker, Strong Crypto Innovations

In my professional life, I graduated from Sinclair with an associate degree in system administration and continued to expand my academic knowledge through certifications and experience from various jobs. I have worked at Wright Patterson Airforce Base's hospital, Air Force Laboratory, and the IRS. I have also been involved in electronic health record / 365 Cloud migration operations, cyber security, and system administration. Through a friend, I discovered my real passion for ethical hacking and became an ethical hacker.

In my athletic life, I had always been drawn to stories of heroism in video games while growing up. I also had interest in eastern culture, being drawn to different tv shows and games as a kid. In high school, I took interest in training because two of my friends were training Tang So Do, a Korean-based art that is similar to Taekwondo. After five years of consistent training, I ventured to different areas, seeking something more complete training, with a focus on full contact competition. During this time of transition, I tried different schools who did not fulfill my needs and desires in terms of structure and culture.

Finally, I found my way to Meng's Martial Arts, where I have been training full contact martial arts for 7 years. Since then, I have achieved 9 full contact Sanda national titles in both Wushu and Kuo Shu federations. In addition, I have a world title in the Kuo Shu federation and both a bronze and silver medal in Pan American Wushu Championships.

I also have national titles for Wing Chun Chi Sau and forms, and I have competed in several Tang So Do tournaments. I have competed in several karate, Brazilian Jiu Jtsu, and have also competed in MMA.

I hold a purple belt in Judo, purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, black belt in Shaolin Wing Chun, and a brown belt in Tang So Do.

Vince Anello is a 5 Time IPF World Powerlifting Champion, York Barbell Hall of Fame inductee, Bodybuilder, and Owner of Anello Body Fitness

One of the all-time powerlifting greats—especially in deadlift—one name that always comes to mind is Vince Anello. A five-time IPF world champion, York Barbell Hall of Fame inductee, an accomplished bodybuilder, owner of his own fitness company, and the first person in history to deadlift 800 pounds while weighing less than 200 pounds.

Anello trained at various gyms throughout his long and successful career. And while many successful powerlifters become associated with prominent gyms, big teams, and large sponsors, Anello spent a good portion of his competitive career training in a friend’s basement.
Known as “The Wild Bunch" from Black's Health World in Cleveland (basically a “Westside Barbell" of the early 80's), Anello did some of his training alongside other greats such as John Black, Danny Wohleber, John Florio, and the first person to ever squat 1000 pounds—Dave Waddington.

Anello also co-wrote a book with Dave Yarnell titled Vince Anello, My Life On And Off The Platform. It summarizes his powerlifting and bodybuilding careers, his methods of training both the mind and body and the thoughts and comments of his friends, fans and training partners, as well as his life outside of strength sports.
Through it all, Anello continues to uphold his values of health, strength, and mental toughness. And those are traits he continues to pass onto his clients every day.
