It's incredible how Covid-19 has affected the Zumba community! We have been allowed the unprecedented ability to livestream our classes directly to students' living rooms and to continue sharing the Zumba Love with instructors all over the world. I'm so proud to be part of this community and so inspired by all of my students who have stuck with us through this wild ride known as 2020!

As for info about me, I have been dancing to the Zumba beat for over 10 years now - and took the life-altering plunge to become an Instructor in April 2012! Zumba has truly changed my life - I feel much more energetic and motivated than I ever have and along with that, I've lost over 80 lbs. in the process! I've also met the love of my life, Emily, who is also a licensed ZIN! Emily and I were married on December 5, 2015 - and we LOVE to share our passion for Zumba with everyone around us! I was the proud owner of Z.Vida Fitness for over 10 years - a business dedicated to bringing the fun and energy back into fitness - but due to financial constraints primarily related to Covid, the business dissolved in September 2022. My passion to spread the Zumba love is relentless and undying though, and you can find me dancing to the Zumba beat all over the Chippewa Valley and at special Zumba events throughout the tri-state area!
