About Me

I have been passionate about swing music and dancing for the better part of 15 years now. Through these many years, I have experienced the dance community evolve and mature from the neo-swing revolution to big-band fervor to small group madness. Thankfully, most of us, have moved well beyond those neo-swing days and into original, classic swing…and are so much happier!

I have enjoyed the opportunity to be the head DJ at such prestigious events as the Eastern Balboa Championships in Raleigh, NC, All Balboa Weekend in Cleveland, OH, and Camp Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA. I have also given lectures on the musicians of the Big Band era at several events, including Balboa on the Promenade in Nice, France, Northwest Balboa Fest, in Seattle, WA, Sacramento Jazz Festival in Sacramento, CA and Inspiration Weekend, in Irvine, CA.
