Meet Our Instructors
Master Keith Wilkes
5th Dan Kukkiwon
Master Wilkes began his Taekwondo training at the age of 15 within the International Taekwondo Federation in Denver, Colorado. A published author and speaker, he is one of the first 100 martial artists to pass the Instructor Certification requirements of the American Council on Martial Arts Instructor Certification program. Master Wilkes earned an A.S. in General Studies from Vincennes University in 1980 and a B.A. in Broadcast Communications with a minor in Psychology from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 1990. Besides the martial arts, he enjoys gardening, playing golf and spending time with his wife.
Dee Nevills
3rd Dan (2nd Dan Kukkiwon)
With a degree in Criminal Justice from Colorado State University, Dee has made a career change after 20 years in the public safety/security sector. Coming to Fear Knot because she likes the positive atmosphere and friendly people at our schools, Dee enjoys helping others and being able to teach something that she's passionate about. Heading out on a dirt bike or ATV are her outside interests. At home she spends time with her family, decorates and collects antiques.
Shaun Clark
2nd Dan (Kukkiwon)
Originally starting with Fear Knot as a Little Ninja in 2005, Shaun had spent several years away training and fighting internationally. Ranked in the top 5 nationally and top 100 internationally in Taekwondo (Olympic) fighting, he returned to Fear Knot because this is where he started, and Taekwondo has been such an integral part of his life. Shaun has always enjoyed working with and being a role model for the students. When he’s not training or teaching, Shaun says he likes to sleep. Don’t we all.
Chase Clements
2nd Dan
A sophomore at West Virginia University, Chase has been with FEAR KNOT since enrolling on our Pre-Ninjas program at 3 years old (2003). He enjoys his training because it gives him a chance to meet new people. Chase decided to help with classes because he likes helping others learn the things he's learned over the years. Other than martial arts, Chase plays lacrosse.
Nate Marquart
2nd Dan
Daniel Morris
1st Dan
Dan joins FEAR KNOT with a MBA from Eastern University. He also spent time in the marine corps and has background in law enforcement security and business management. A life-long dream of teaching martial arts led Dan to join the team. He especially enjoys working with younger students because of the impact martial arts had on him as a child. Outside of the school, Dan enjoys movies and cooking with his daughters, going to bookstores, tubing, shooting, & "lifting".
Stefi Morris
5th Gup
A graduate of the Circle in Harrisburg, Stefi came to FEAR KNOT because she enjoys the martial arts and loves working with kids. Wanting to shape our students into great martial artists, Stefi also wants to help them to become well rounded adults. When she's not hanging around the school, she enjoys watching hockey, going to the ballet along with the gym.
Junior Instructors
Mark Walter
2nd Dan Kukkiwon
A 9th grader at Elizabethtown Area High School, Mark has been with Fear Knot since he was a Little Ninja. He joined the instructor corps to teach the students not only martial arts skills but the skills they'll need outside the school to become successful adults. Mark also points out that Taekwondo training promotes good habits like responsibility and discipline. When he's out and about, Mark enjoys cycling, skateboarding, and taking the horse out for a ride.
