Dancing
I have been an avid West Coast Swing Enthusiast since 1993. This interest has given me a long and varied career that has brought me around the world. In addition I have been diligently studying this addiction of mine as a professional since 1997. As a result of this study I have had numerous titles, accolades and student success stories.In 2006 during a break in my Dancing Career, I moved to Orlando to be closer to my family. In 2009 I set the wheels in motion to have my very own swing dance event in my new hometown.

Web Development
In 2000 I came to the conclusion that it would be a smart thing to do to learn another profession, because I could not see myself being a young and spry dance teacher forever. There is of course a great argument to be made that at the time I wasn't even close to young and spry even then. So I decided to start working towards learning to be a "webmaster". At the time I had no idea what a long and strange trip it would be to get to where I am today. I am now proficient in a couple of different programming languages that the web runs on and have made some pretty big web-applications. I have made web-apps that basically run a few businesses. A Motorcycle part supplier, a blind and solar shade supply company and a real-estate office to name just a few. The Orlando Jack and Jill Jam is my chance to combine my two professions! You are reading this from an web-application that I wrote :).
