I've been spinning things since childhood, starting with myself, and then with tennis balls in socks, or sticks found in the woods of Maine. Starting with my first pair of devil stix in 1995, I then consciously entered the world of object manipulation as a hobby. In 1999, I began spinning glowing objects on strings or in socks at "all night dance parties&qu ot;. After meeting other spinners, I learned that glowstringing is very similar to poi, an art named by the Maori people of New Zealand. This gave rise to the discovery of fire spinning. Thus my dedication to the art of contemporary poi began.
From devilstix and poi other object manipulation quickly followed: Sphereplay, staff, diabolo, astrojax to name a few. These talents have been melded with a love of music and dance, including liquid, illusional, and funk styles. I love to play and live for the spark of innovation and creativity, while further honing my skills through diligent practice.
