ACTIVITIES

My passion is teaching, uplifting, and giving the youth a chance at the future. I enjoy working with people who want to feel purposeful in life. I connect with people who allow me to assist them in ways they cannot. I am a free spirit. My passion is learning how life can improve and how I will impact someone’s life.

My gift is “dance,” performing various genres and training youth who inspire to become a star one day. My community means the world to me – as I have been giving back to the Western Addition Dance community since 1996. Breaking barriers as one of the first male dancers to participate in a local pop warner team was unknowingly paving the way for the next generation of male dancers who followed suit. I was nurtured, as I now nurture the upcoming.

My spare time consists of the Gym, Sunday Relaxation, and being surrounded by my French Bulldog Thumper  and kitten Binx. I am simplistic, relaxed, and fruitful. I take one day at a time – I adore sunsets and early morning tea.
