"HIS WORK HAS A HYPNOTIC FOCUS AWASH IN CLASHING IMPULSES - A DEFIANT SHOT TO THE FUTURE.”-HELEN COBURN MEIER 

As Choreographer:
Creating powerful yet accessible mediums to communicate to multiple generations, multiple ethnicities, multiple abilities and to illuminate alternatives for an urban audience disenfranchised by the commodification of mainstream media and entertainment.



As Educator:
My goal is to provide students with a supportive and challenging environment that is responsive to multiple learning styles, emphasizes learning through the arts, and integrates critical thinking throughout the curriculum.
