I’M A CAREER PERFORMER AND FOUNDER OF

LIFE OF THE PARTY ENTERTAINMENT.  

I BEGAN STUDYING THE ART OF MAGIC AT THE AGE OF 7, AND IT HAS BEEN MY LIFE’S PASSION EVER SINCE.

I BEGAN WORKING PROFESSIONALLY WHEN I WAS 13,

AND USED MY INCOME TO PAY MY WAY THROUGH COLLEGE AND GRADUATE SCHOOL BEFORE COMMITTING TO THE CRAFT AS A FULL-TIME CAREER.

THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, I’VE DEVELOPED NUMEROUS SHOWS THAT COMBINE MY UNIQUE BACKGROUND WITH MY EXTENSIVE PERFORMANCE TRAINING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!
