Why do I do what I do?
People tell me all the time that I am way too busy.  I strongly believe that my "busy" is so much more than just things to do.  My "busy" is about influencing others, getting people to think outside of themselves, and making each place better than the way I found it.

"It is amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares
who gets the credit" ~John Wooden

My faith

My students

In a world that is changing so quickly, my students need someone who genuinely cares about building relationships and preparing them for real-world situations.

My "kids"

Truly an extension of my family, my dance kids inspire me to work hard and be the best role model I can be.  I have watched many of them grow up and do whatever I can to help make them better dancers and better human beings.
