Square Dancing is my passion

Know Me.
Square Dancing is my passion! In 1990 my wife, Sandy and I learned to dance here in Denver CO. Soon after I began to call, joining CALLERLAB in 1991. I am the club caller for 4 clubs and have conducted over 95 Mainstream classes, 45+ Plus classes, and a few Advanced. I am a CALLERLAB Accredited Caller Coach and a member of the Board of Governors. I believe that Educating Callers to be the best they can be, is the path to bettering our activity. We will need talented, ardent Callers to revive our activity as this Pandemic subsides.
Want to make me smile? Ask me about my Grandkids or Square Dancing!
In my time in Square Dancing, I have come to believe that sometimes we lose sight of the reasons we started dancing in the first place, great music, good friends and tons of fun. That is why in my Calling, these are the most important ingredients in my performance.
Experienced Square Dance Caller and Teacher.
