Biography
I started going to square dances with my parents at a very young age. Met a lot of people and became very good friends with them at a young age. To me their just like family. In 1990 I took my first basic and mainstream class and have been dancing and loving it ever since.
I started calling in 1996 when I was 16 years old. In 1999 I taught my first class and have been teaching beginner dancers every year since then.
In 2001 I called my first out of state dance in Portland, Oregon. In 2005 I attended my first National Convention in Portland OR. There I met a lot of new dancers and got a lot of dances booked including my first EVER international festival In Sendi Japan. This was a four-day festival with Tim Marriner and Mac O'Jima. In 2005 I recorded my first four records on the Dance Ranch label. In early 2007 two more of my records were released.
I have called in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Texas.
