I pursued my childhood dream of a professional bowling career until I was twenty-one and realized that it wasn’t my destiny after all. Twelve years later I began a journey with my daughter to make her dream come true and it changed every aspect of my life. All In, My Amazing Journey As a Dance Dad tells the story of that journey. It's more than a memoir of how helping my daughter pursue her dance dream changed my priorities and strengthened our relationship. I feel it is an inspirational story of sacrifice, heartbreak, commitment and the incredible joy of being an "all in" father.
All In explores the highs and lows of competitive dance, blending my personal experiences and behind the scenes observations of the $2 billion-plus “glamour industry” with practical advice for parents seeking greater involvement in their children’s lives. My book offers a unique male perspective in an industry historically dominated by women and I believe it has broad appeal to parents, competitive dance fans and industry observers alike.
