I started dancing as a young man with Junior and Senior High School dances.

I mostly learned from friends until around 1989.  I wanted to learn the how, why,

when, and timing of organized dance.  I started learning Whip which later

transferred into West Coast Swing around 1997 and my first competition was in

the Spring of 2000.  I started instructing around 2004, and continued learning

and teaching many dance styles.  I have competed in many West Coast Swing

competitions all over the United States and have even accumulated some World

Swing Dance Council Points.
