Welcome!
Thanks for visiting my website
I have been calling Square Dances since 1977 and I call throughout the USA.
I called my first dance at the age of 13 in New Hampshire and have never stopped calling squares.
I was based in New England until 1991 then moved to Maryland.
I am currently the club caller for the Gad-Abouts in Hagerstown & Art’s Stars Advanced SDC
I am available to travel Regionally, Nationally and Internationally and would love to call at your club no matter where you are!
I have a wide variety of music and can adjust it to any dance floor’s taste. My main calling style is High Energy with a some Country and a whole lot of Modern Pop. You can see samples of my calling by clicking here.
I have recorded singing calls on Alter-Ego Recordings, Gold Rush Records and SDBob Recordings and I am part of the SDBob Calling staff.

The Gad-Abouts is a Plus club with Rounds (2X2)
Dance time: 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM (pre-rounds 6-7 PM)
