I remember watching the T.V. show America's Best Dance Crew as a sixteen-year-old kid in between school and soccer practice. I wanted nothing more than to be one of the Jabbawockeez, but with no rhythm and no lessons, I knew it would take some serious hard work. I learned the basic elements of dance in classes at Burnet High School and the rest I learned from YouTube videos. I spent hours practicing moves like breakdancing and popping in front of my bedroom mirror.  

​

After I entered my first dance competition, I was in love. In my first moments standing onstage, I decided this was my future. While I didn't have the same traditional dance training as my competitors, the hours I spent teaching myself from online tutorials was starting to pay off. I began placing within the top ten overall at competitions, winning performance and showmanship awards, and earning scholarships to programs such as the New York Dance Experience. This led to multiple opportunities as an instructor and a performer. I was hired for my first teaching job at Studio 29 back home in Burnet, TX. I then booked dance performances in numerous music videos, shows, and began traveling to work with artists including Sean Paul, K Camp, Tory Lanez, and D Woods.

No longer a boy without rhythm, I've been fortunate to train and take classes from many industry choreographers such as Matt Steffanina, NappyTabs, and Nick DeMoura. I've choreographed at multiple schools, camps, workshops, intensives, and have been an instructor at various studios throughout the Austin area. For the past 9 years, I've been a faculty member with Dupree Dance Convention.
