Magic has been my greatest journey. 

​

I've been performing magic, illusions, and comedy professionally since 1981. My first introduction into magic was a kids magic set gifted by my grandmother on my 7th birthday. The 'Magic Bug' bit me hard, and I was soon spending multiple hours at the local library every day studying every magic book I could get my hands on.

 

While attending high school I met my first mentor. I was lucky enough to impress the gentlemen so he let me work as his lead magic demonstrator at the shop. For the next 6 years I worked with him professionally specializing in magic, balloon sculptures, and face-painting. These were very formative years for me. 

 

When I turned twenty-one I answered the call of my country and enlisted in the United States Army. During my many tours of duty I entertained thousands of troops in Kansas, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Oregon, Washington D.C, Hungary, Austria and Germany. During one deployment I was sent on special assignment to an orphanage in Hungary where I was honored to perform magic for a group of children who lost their parents during the Bosnian conflict. It still touches my heart to this day. I was also granted a contract to teach magic for the U.S. Army families and their children that lasted for almost 6 years.

​

In 2021 I moved back to Oregon and now live in Albany. I'm a member of the Society of American Magicians (S.A.M) and the International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M) along with several other private magic organizations.

​

I've been teaching magic to children for over 30 years and it is without a doubt my greatest joy. When we're young everything is Magic... birds flying, flowers growing, the sun setting. But as we age Magic is explained to us and nothing seems magical anymore. My joy as a teacher is to bring back that sense of wonder to everyone who forgot that Magic still exists in everything if you look closely enough.
