About Me:

I am going on 14 and will attend Ogden High School with my brother Sensei Jeff Price. My talents are in soccer, basketball, rolling my stomach, singing, and most important, karate. My hobbies consist of arts, crafts, and sports. My favorite foods are artichokes, crabs, prime ribs, and potato au gratin. I love to watch Ice Age and Shrek. When I travel, I like to go to Yellowstone National Park and Universal Studios. My mom is Tanya DeFisher; she works for Wells Fargo and the Prarie Schooner. She has raised me for most of my life by herself. My dad is Shaun Hartman and he lives in Salt Lake City selling RV's. I have a sister named Kortnee that is 11 years old. Sensei Jeff Price is my brother, he is 17 and attends Ogden High School. I have a brother named Kaden and a sister named Derrian that lives in SLC with my dad. My grandma is Connie Cook and works at the Marshall White Community Center for Ogden City. My grandfather is Robert Cook and he works for Ben Lomond Hotel as a security guard. Val Rebeck is my Aunt who is married to John Rebeck who has three children, Joey, Angei, and Ashleigh. She is expecting a baby on November 27th. Two great aunts live in California, Kerry and her husband Stan Benkoski and Nikki; her husband is DeWitt Tranberg. I also have a grandma Phyllis and Uncle Tom that live in Ca. Great grandma Bubsie also lives in SLC.

I have really enjoyed Karate and it has done so much for me. I'm working towards a Black Belt in White Dragons of Bushido. I hope to own and run a studio with Sensei Jeff when I get older. I want to express my appreciation to Master Matt Johnson and Professor Ron Bennett and certainly Jaylene Bennett. Karate is a family of its own where everyone is there for you and you are there for them.
