I started skating at the age of 4. I have skated at many different rinks, and have had many different coaches throughout my skating career. I won Nationals in 94' in Sophomore solo and went on the next year to win Sophomore team dance with Brian Cray.

In 1996 I started taking lessons with The Viola's and Cohen's. In 97' Sam Porazzo and I won Open Free dance at the National Championships in Pensacola, Florida.

I had a few partner changes within the next few years and 2 months before the National Championships in 2000, Kevin and I started skating together. After only 2 months we managed to place 5th at the Nationals. In 2001 we placed 3rd at Nationals, and 6th at the Worlds in Florence, Italy. The next year we placed 2nd at Nationals and 5th at the World Championships in Wupertal, Germany. This year we also placed 2nd at the US nationals and ended up 4th at the Worlds in Argentina!! Looks like every year we move up a little bit :-)
Interests: Outside of skating I work full time as a Director and teacher at my mother's Preschool. I love children, and I love my job! I also love to spend time with friends and family. You can never love or be loved too much!

Skating History:  I started skating at a very young age, basically as soon as I could walk at 10 months old.  I guess you can say that skating is in my blood as I can trace my roller skating roots back to my maternal grandparents.  Because my mother is a roller skating coach, I spent many hours at the rink growing up.  I competed in every aspect of figure skating:  dance, figures, freestyle, pairs and later, precision.  I have national placements in all of them.  I feel the turning point in my skating career was in 1996 when I won Freshman team dance and got second in pairs and singles.  My mom did most of my coaching through Freshman.  Until that point, my mom was my dance/figure coach with help through the years from awesome coaches such as my step dad Richard Dion in dance/figures and my uncle Billy Richardson, Janet Britt-Pavilonis and Cheryl Manning-Hudson worked my freestyle and pairs.  In 1998, I began working with John and DeeDee Viola and Jodee and Scott Cohen with my sights on a world team berth.

That year, I teamed up with Jennifer Williams to compete in Junior World Class dance and pairs.  We had a great year, winning the US National Championships in both events and going on to win the silver medal in pairs in Brisbane, Australia.  I believe that we were the first team to go to the world championships from the US in both dance and pairs.

Jennifer and I worked most of the next season preparing to make the move to Senior and skate both dance and pairs once again.  In May of 2000, there was a change of plans and I began skating with Tammy.  With barely two months before the national championships, we had to work fast!  We finished fifth that year, but the following season, with a full year behind us, we placed third earning us a trip to Florence where we placed 6^th in Senior Dance.  We have continually moved up from that first trip, finishing 5^th in Wuppertal and most recently 4^th in Argentina.  I guess you could say we’re movin’ on up!!!!
