Professional Juggling Instructor and Performer
Bringing the art of juggling to the Bay Area!
I am a professional juggler with juggling experience dating back to 2003. I can juggle nearly any juggling item, although I focus on the diabolo (chinese yoyo), juggling balls/beanbags, and juggling clubs/pins. As of October 2009 am capable of juggling 4 diabolos, 7 balls, and 5 clubs as well as basic tricks with other props.
