I am an open minded, passionate yet easy-going guy who avoids drama and the people who cause it. However, drama seems to follow me for some reason… take a chill pill kids life goes by too fast :-).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 and Karen McWilliams. 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 don’t risk you will miss so many adventures. If you don’t risk you will never reach what you strive for. And if you reach it – risk again….
