Presence you can feel in the room.
Eleven years as a professional athlete taught me one thing the camera never lies about: energy is everything. I bring a body that's trained at the highest level and a presence that's fully there — for the lens, the floor, or the room.
Fitness, editorial, commercial, and lifestyle shoots. Trained athletic build, reliable on set, comfortable directing my own movement and energy for the camera.
Social and performance dance, partner work, and movement for events. I bring people onto the floor and keep the energy alive — present, attentive, joyful.
Dance performances, choreography, and high-energy appearances for parties, openings, and celebrations. I bring movement, joy, and a room that comes alive. Rates and details on request.
I spent over a decade as a professional volleyball player — Princeton All-American, U.S. Men's National Team, eight-plus seasons in Europe. The body and the discipline come from that world. The presence comes from loving every room I'm in.
Now I bring that to the camera, the dance floor, and the events I'm invited into. I'm a late bloomer who learned that showing up fully — present, warm, alive — is the rarest thing there is. That's what I offer.
