A native of New Jersey, Sandy was first introduced to dance at a very young age.  Although athletics and martial arts consumed a lot of his childhood, there was always time for dance.

Growing up Sandy became a regular with the community theater company Phoenix Productions, performing in dozens of musicals.  Additionally, he continued to dance with the Performing Arts Ensemble (the community ballet company that first got him involved with dance).  During his 12 years with PAE, Sandy was exposed to many classical ballets and original works totaling; 30 separate productions, over 100 performances, and 25 different roles.

Since enrolling at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in August 2005, Sandy has worked in Information Technical support, played lacrosse for the UT club team, was voted president of the UT Dance Company, joined Alpha Kappa Psi (a professional business fraternity), and has done technical theatre work for various student productions.

In the fall of 2006, Sandy applied to College Scholars program with the program title, “The Business of Dance Production and Performance,” and was accepted later that term.  College Scholars is a honors program at UT where students design their own curriculum and, ultimately, create their own major. 

In his professional career as a performer, Sandy has been a guest artist for studio and community dance companies, a ballroom dancer for the independent film Paint Me In featuring Stephen Baldwin, a featured dancer in a regional TV commercial staring Peyton Manning, and he performed at Hoot ‘N Holler Dinner Show in Pigeon Forge,TN. 

Tragically, in October 2007, Sandy had to stop performing due to a torn ACL.  While in recovery he has turned his focus to dance choreography and theater administration, which led him to Camp Curtain Call.

Sandy is thrilled to have the opportunity to apply his traditional business education while simultaneously sharing his love of dance.
