Sam Wegert started his family-based business, Superkicks, in Amherst VA when he was 15 years old.  As a homeschooled high schooler, he was exposed to entrepreneurial and leadership training  as part of his education, inspiring him to grow his school in Amherst to record numbers despite a town population of only 1,500.

He soon opened a second school in a hotel – and in only 12 months, grew into one of the most successful  martial arts schools in the country.  He became one of the youngest chief instructors in the United States, and he he has a passion for teaching and inspiring others to reach their full potential. He has taught thousands of students in public and private schools across Virginia, and he recently opened black belt leadership schools in Charlotte, NC and Charlottesville, VA.

Sam loves the outdoors, including mountain biking, skiing, and backpacking, and he’s an avid salsa dancer!
