NAGA Comments:

Raphael has had a meteoric rise within NAGA. After solid showings at the novice and beginner skill levels, it was quite apparent that Raphael was skilled beyond his months of training. After moving up skill levels Raphael continued to dominate and is now a major force in the advanced/expert divisions of NAGA.

Raphael travels all over the country to compete. We look forward to seeing what he will accomplish in 2009.
