Brice Washam

Brice grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and became interested in martial arts at an early age. He spent a significant portion of his childhood years watching a lot of 1980s martial arts movies and staging elaborate G.I. Joe battles – especially between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Those formative years gave rise to the dream of becoming a ninja, which never panned out, sadly. However, over the next several years Brice attempted to learn various martial arts concepts and techniques on his own based on insights from books, and magazine articles (and more movies). Later he learned kickboxing and Muay Thai under formal instruction before taking an extended break from training to attend Missouri State University, where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Business.

Upon moving to the Kansas City area, Brice began a nearly 16-year-long career in telecommunications with roles in sales, marketing, and product management. He then spent over two years in the higher education industry, where he was responsible for developing an eCommerce software platform used by colleges and universities, prior to coming to Kicksite at the end of 2020.
