About Me:

Living and learning step by step day by day.
Friend, Dancer, Capoerista, Mr. party party!!
First time clubbing i was 15 thank you Dynomike and Ji Young!!
First time I snuck into Shelter I was 16 haha SHOUT OUTS 2 MARY DEVITT for hustling the bouncer and getting me in. Wherever you are I will never forget U!
Started dancing as a bboy I was 15 at the time a year later brought back the bboy movement in New Jersey with my crew Rock With Finesse in 1996.
First House Dancer I seen was Tony Kundu!! Just killing the steps man!!
Founding member of FLO-OLOGY!! In 2000 was forever changed by the massive raves out in Oakland known as home base haha you had to be there to understand. Got into house music and the rest is a wrap!!
First time seeing Brian Footwork Green 2003 Seeing is believing folks I saw Mr Green dance and was like DAMNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
Training with Mr Green over the years has made me grow as a dancer understanding the history of the culture, history of the movements in relation to other styles. He has and helped me grow into my own. I thank you teach!!
Many other have inspired me and help me develop into what I am today. I look forward to meeting many others to further grow!!
Now I have also been sucked into the world of Capoeira with Omulu Guanabara much respect to my teacher Busca He for guiding me in the art. Respect to my Mestre!! Mestre Preguica, Mestre Di Mola and RIP Mestre Carlos Acietuno.
I will play Capoeira till the day I DIE!!!
