He is also a World Certified 5th Dan Black Belt and founder of Asia Pacific Taekwondo Academy, which is located in the heart of Bangkok. Don feels that there is great joy in helping others achieve their goals and he gives back by donating his time to teaching the life enhancing skills of martial arts at the Human Development Foundations Mercy Center. The children attending these classes are the poverty stricken street kids of the infamous, slaughter house slums of Klongtoey, Bangkok and many are orphans. Don personally teaches these classes and supports the project with the help of the generous students and excellent staff at his Asia Pacific Taekwondo Academy. Recently Don was given a certificate from the Human Development Foundation in appreciation for his contributing services to social welfare as a positive role model benefiting communities and country.
