While in New York, he worked with Gallim Dance under the direction of Andrea Miller and performed with Stephanie Batten Bland’s Company, SBB. He also freelanced in Missouri with Dramatic Truth Ballet Theatre, where he performed the roles of Archangel Michael and God, The Father, which deepened his faith. In the Bay Area, as a member of the Oakland Ballet Company, he choreographed "I'll Love You From Here" for OBC’s 2023 Rainbow Dances and participated in a BAMPFA installation for TinyPistol under the direction of Maurya Kerr. He also worked for Gregory Dawson’s company, dawsondancesf, and had the opportunity to co-choreograph a duet with Frankie Peterson for the Black Choreographers Festival.

Additionally, he worked with SFBATCO for the musical "Sign My Name to Freedom" and began his journey into aerial work led by Joanna Haigood. He's looking forward to continuing his aerial training at Zaccho Dance Theatre under Haigood's tutelage. Most recently, he worked with Mia Chong for the first season of Eight/Moves as a performing artist and is excited to continue working in the Bay Area.  This will be his first experience with Alex Ketley and he is very excited to be an artist for  An Approximation of Resilience.
