About Me:
Contact me here.
I spent 2010/2011 as a Visiting Professor of ballet at the University of Utah Ballet Dept and I am now back at West Texas A&M Univ. where I was Director of Dance from 2003-2010 in Canyon TX.
I love travel especially to warm beaches and to Russia. I have traveled across Russia by train from St. Petersburg to Siberia teaching dance and felt very connected there and have made some very good friends. Good friends are hard to come by
I was an actor/athlete who was dragged into a college dance class kicking and screaming at age 18. Before I was 20 I had my first professional dance job thanks David H. Bell, Karen McWilliams, and Richard Croskey.
I danced professionally for 10 years (ballet, jazz, & modern) until I ruptured a disc and had to hang up the shoes after back surgery. Now I teach and choreograph all over the world. I love what I do so much I gave up making a lot more money doing something else (photography after I first stopped dancing) to do what I really feel passionate about.
I feel strongly about living with passion and taking risks. Life is a strange and complex journey with many mysteries and adventures. If you dont risk you will miss so many adventures. If you dont risk you will never reach what you strive for. And if you reach it risk again.
Most Important Dance Teachers I studied with: Katharyn Horne, Glenn White, Karen McWilliams, Richard Croskey, Stanley Holden, Gregg Lizenbery, Edward Verso, & Jaime Rogers.
