How & When did you join 808 Breakers?

I met Karma back in 2017 because he was throwing a Jam in Maui called Leave it on The Floor. I was looking for events to film at the time and my friend Brandon Haros [another dancer] told me about the event. I reached out to Karma and asked if I could record and make an edit for the event. I would later meet the rest of the crew and create more videos for their event The Melting Pot.

In 2020 I got a call from Karma to come over and asked if I wanted to be in 808. I said "I don't know how to dance." We talked story, we drank, we made noise.

How did you get into dancing/breaking?

Funny enough I started dancing after meeting Karma, but I only know a few things.

I can't break though.

What are some of your hobbies other than dancing?

Lettering, fishing but catch no fish, photography, music, reading really good books, writing.
