An alchemist, dreamer, instigator, and new world conjurer moonlighting as a director, choreographer, multidisciplinary maker, scholar, and teaching artist. A first-generation Angeleno, he first learned to tell stories through his body, exploring the movement vocabularies of krump and jerk on elementary playgrounds. Upon graduation from high school, his curiosity led him to the Mid-Atlantic, where he studied theatre at Georgetown University. In 2012, he landed in New Orleans and immersed in the culture and vocabulary of second-line footwork and bounce while working at the intersection of arts and advocacy as Youth Programs Director at Dancing Grounds. After seven years, he moved to Tallahassee to pursue his MFA in choreography and performance at Florida State University. Recent credits include: Solange Knowles, Aluna, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, Claws (TNT), Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Kesha McKey, Leyla McCallah and Kiyoko McCrae, Kristin Sudeikis, Maya Taylor, Chris Emile, KM Dance Project, Junebug Productions, B.U.K.U. Dance Krewe, and Goat in the Road Productions.
