I started calling club dances in 1989. I have served as the club caller for the Marion Chain Gang, (Marion, Illinois), the Salem Promenaders (Salem, Illinois) and currently share the Club Caller responsibilities for the Centralia Squares (Centralia, Illinois. I am a full member of Callerlab and previously recorded for both Mar-Let Records and Chicago Country Records before I established my own label - Miracle Records in 2005. As a traveling caller, I currently call approximately 30 club dances, a special dances and at 1 or 2 state festivals per year. Most of my dances are in Illinois and the adjacent states of eastern Missouri, western Indiana and southern Wisconsin. Our calling philosophy is a rather simple one - help the dancers succeed while entertaining them.
