Started calling in 1981. Currently club caller for 3 clubs in Kansas and Missouri. Enjoy calling DBD at both mainstream and plus level. Known for vocal imitations. I feel dancers have to win and fun is the name of the game.
I am taking bookings for this year, and into the future. I am looking forward to calling for your group from Basic - A2. I also call D.B.D. I call for 1 local Club in the Metro Detroit area, a Advanced Level Club, with alternating tips for the Plus Program. I've been calling since 1975, mostly in the Metro Detroit area, but more recently I have been calling in the eastern Ohio area near Cleveland, and I'm interested in booking dances in other states in the Midwest region of the U.S.

I'm a firm believer that "Everyone can dance!" and I make it my mission to bring dancing to groups of non-dancers, wherever they are. I specialize in one-off events for beginners, e.g., wedding receptions, birthday parties, bat mitzvah celebrations, church and community events, events for students, anywhere people want a good time dancing together. I'm the house dance caller for the monthly 3rd Saturday barn dances at Pie Ranch. Most of the time I bring a live band with me to my events.
