I started off by practicing with glow sticks. A close friend of mine, who was into the rave scene, started teaching me how to use them. He introduced me to BotF, and I started to attend practice every Monday night. Over the years I kept practicing with BotF and my friend to merge their two different styles, to create something that came naturally to me. During this whole time I was also in JROTC, so I took what I had learned from exhibition drill (spinning weapons) and applied it to fire staffs. I was introduced to double fire staffs by Vertigo, and they have been my toys of choice since then. I enjoy watching other people spin because each fire dancer has something unique about their style that is beautiful to watch. One day I hope to turn on my TV to watch fire groups from all around the world compete in the Olympics Games.
