I am a kid at heart and I love to play!

I am passionate about music, dance, pretty colored lights,

and of course hooping!

I find my greatest happiness through spreading joy to

others!

My earliest hooping memory, at around 6 years old,

involves challenging my next door neighbor to a

hoop-a-thon. As I recall, we had to call a tie since

neither one of us had stopped hooping for hours,

and it was time for dinner!

Fast forward to the fall of 2001, where I encountered

large homemade hoops & hoop-dancers at the

Mountain Oasis Music Festival in Union Grove, NC.  I

quickly learned that hooping with these larger hoops was

much easier than the kiddie hoops I remembered from my

childhood, and I spent the weekend exploring the possibilities of

movement & dancing within the hoop. I returned home with huge

purplish-green bruises on my hips, and promptly ran out to the hardware store to

procure supplies for building hoops - thus beginning my journey into the world of

hoop-making.

For several years I have been toying around with building my own LED hoops,

after purchasing several light-up hoops from other talented hoop-makers.

In the spring of 2009, I lost my job as a restaurant manager after 9 years, and

although it was a shock - this was the push I needed to start up my own

business.

I have spent many months building & testing my LED hoops, and I am confident

that these LED hoops are of the highest quality and are extremely durable.
