He has toured internationally as a soloist with Nikolais and Murray Louis Dance, and performed with the companies of Mark Morris, Erick Hawkins, Gina Gibney, Laura Glenn and the theater company P3/east. He has taught at Bard College, Marymount Manhattan College, Sarah Lawrence College, University of Washington and Cornish College of the Arts, among others. He has received choreographic commissions and residencies across the U.S., in Scotland, Norway, Germany, Cyprus, Mexico, China, and Ukraine. From 2017-2020 he served as Associate Director at Bearnstow, a summer arts retreat in Maine, and from 2010-2019 he served on the Board of Directors at Triskelion Arts in Brooklyn, NY. At present, he is a member of the Board of Directors at Connecticut Dance Alliance. He approaches teaching and learning as reflexive processes wherein each moment is an opportunity for being mindful or mindless, embodied or disembodied, creating a space where each person feels empowered to reach beyond assumptions and expectations.
