He earned his BFA in dance at Arizona State University in 2021 and has been weaponizing it at every opportunity since. He often finds romance within 1st-world tragedy and culminates it into arrays of bubbly or upsetting imagery. He takes pride in the complexity of his artistic tool box which holds training in hip-hop and postmodern contemporary modalities as well as stage production in lighting and sound. Within the next year or two, you can catch him dancing/ working productions across the valley of the sun, or playing with his cat.
