From Performer to Choreographer to Director to Producer, I have enjoyed developing and executing in various roles within the creative process. 

I have been inspired to develop razor sharp focus performing as an artist in two ground-breaking aquatic Franco Dragone shows, “Le Reve: the Dream” at Wynn Las Vegas and “The House of Dancing Water” in Macau China. To have been part of casts with 90 world-class athletes performing over, under and through millions of gallons of water is exhilarating and humbling. I have learned how effective training, communication and planning are the KEY ingredients in replicating unforgettable performances night after night.  

I learned the power of collaboration and teamwork as part of the creation/original cast of “Finding Nemo: the musical” for Walt Disney Entertainment and experienced the influence of pin-point accuracy and attention to detail as I wore one of the most recognizable spandex suits in the world and flew over Broadway as Spider-Man, in “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.”

I have also been busy off the stage, proposing and creating a unique dance class called Interactive Performance/Contemporary Duets at Broadway Dance Center in New York City. Quickly thereafter I was invited to choreograph and direct Spider-Man’s contribution to Broadway’s “Gypsy of the Year” annual competition in 2013.

I've been able to director a variety of projects, from a water-based theatrical production, to a 360 degree Virtual Reality collaboration between GoPro and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts to a real-time audience interactive installation. The later, titled INFUSEART.COM allowed dancers and audience members to work together through technology to determine the climax and outcome of the piece. Bringing together an international cast of multi-disciplined artists to deliver,HiRO, a groundbreaking aquatic theatre show for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, was an unforgettable experience.

Recently, I accepted a Professorship in Contemporary Dance at Brigham Young University, teaching course work in Contemporary Technique, Conditioning and Cross Training for Dancers, Career Trajectory Seminar, Aerial Dance, and Partnering. I have been fortunate to choreograph and create with BYU performing groups Kinnect, Contemporary Dance Theatre, Young Ambassadors, mainstage productions such as Fiddler on the Roof and the upcoming Godspell. Thanks to mentor George Nelson, I wore many hats in the creation of the original musical 1820. I have choreographed Footloose and the recently revamped Cinderella for the iconic Sundance Summer Theatre, and have accepted an offer to choreograph Disney’s Newsies for the Hale Center Theatre summer of 2023 in Sandy, Utah.
