Business Owner

I have a long history is the local business community in telecommunications and in prior lives was a professional musician and a Unites States Marine. I began my serious study of ballroom dance in 1996, began teaching ballroom dance in 1999 (certified in 2000), and in 2002 began working with Argentine tango while continuing to teach Latin and swing and excluding ballroom dances. My love of tango is deep and today nearly exclusive with participation in numerous tango dances every week.
