I hail from a small town in Nevada where nothing much ever happened. My teen years were pretty ordinary considering where we were and so to fight the boredom I discovered athletics. It became my passion: I ran track and field, raced cross-country, captained the swim team, and was one of my high school's top contenders in the state diving championships. I may have started out as a skinny kid, but all those years of training helped me develop my stamina and flexibility. I earned the nickname "rubberband" from my swim coach for my ability to wind my way through a lot and quickly adapt to any situation.
In college, I studied sports fitness and became intent on transforming my lean runner's body into a more sculpted, gym-built form. After graduation, I moved to San Francisco, California to get a taste of the big city. Continuing with my interest in health and sports training, I quickly got a job as a personal trainer at some local gyms.
Money was tight, so to make ends meet, I started dancing at the Nob Hill Theatre. It's actually funny how I ended up there -- some out-of-town friends were visiting, and we decided to check the theatre out. It was amateur night and I was mistaken for one of the contestants. My best friend dared me to take the stage, and next thing I knew, I became the featured dancer!
Soon after, the theatre was hosting a Falcon Studios premiere. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening was the irrepressible and inimitable Chi Chi LaRue. He spotted my talents (ahem) and I guess the rest, as they say, is history.
I've been working with Falcon as an exclusive since I signed with them in 2001. It's been an amazing experience, affording me all these new opportunities to meet great people and travel to different locations.
