MA Ed., Marine Officer,   former High School and Community College Teacher,  Real Estate Broker.

I began learning Argentine Tango in 1999 along with other dances like salsa, merengue,   swing and  other  ballroom dances.  I was totally hooked   on Argentine Tango from the beginning   and,   at the time, there were no milongas in Richmond, so I began traveling 3 to 4 times a week to DC, New York and North Carolina, taking classes with excellent teachers   including :  Pablo Fontana, Carina Losana, Joe Petrisco  and Anne Sophie Villa. 

In 2003, I went to CITA in Buenos Aires and took classes with Tango masters including: Fabian Salas, Carlos Gavito and the Macana brothers.  I’ve been traveling regularly since then to festivals and again to Buenos Aires in 2006. I began teaching Tango in 2009 and ultimately opened TANGUEROS in 2011 to provide a venue for weekly   Milongas and classes for local dancers.
