Master Schill started his training at the young age of 8. As a military dependent, Master Schill was exposed to many styles of Martial Arts from different parts of the world based on the active-duty military instructors being transferred to the bases Master Schill’s father was stationed. After Master Schill’s family was transferred to Germany they discovered that his sister had a very rare heart defect. This discovery immediately impacted the family as Master Schill’s sister and mother were medevacked to Texas. With the family split up and his sister needing extensive care, many things in the family changed. Master Schill for many years felt as though his parents had no time for him and it affected his self-esteem and confidence. As an adult and father, Master Schill realized this was not the case. Master Schill also realized how much his martial arts training had kept him on the right path.
Master Schill continued to train even while working in Corporate America. In 1997, Master Schill opened Peak Performance part-time in his church. In the summer of 2001 Master Schill traveled to Korea and China for 3 weeks to train with his Asian Peers. While there he quickly realized that he truly loved the Martial Arts more than he loved his corporate job. On the plane ride home, he wrote his resignation letter and presented it to his boss upon his return. Three weeks later Peak went from a part-time hobby to a full-time professional academy.
