When I was in high school, my European History teacher played the film Swing Kids for the class. The exuberant, yet classy dance scenes planted the seeds for my new year's resolution 4 years later to look for classes. I've been obsessed ever since. Whether it's teaching, social dancing, competing, listening to the music, or just geeking out about it's history, I just love everything about it.

Hello... my name is Blake and this is my personal website. I'm a software engineer turned professional swing dance instructor, but also a gamer, game developer, guitar player, craft cocktail enthusiast, and tennis player in my free time. Reach out to me on Facebook to chat!

Ever since I read Smuggler's Cove book about tiki mixology, I've been hooked on craft cocktails and punches. While I certainly enjoy drinking them, I find it even more fulfilling to create and share them with friends. Some of my favorites include Scotty Schuder's Missionary's Downfall and the "Tribute" to the Mai Kai Black Magic..

I grew up playing video games since I was 4 or 5 years old. From 2003 to 2007, my dad opened a game center/internet cafe, and as often as I could, I'd bring my friends to come play games like BF1942, Counter-Strike, WarCraft III, etc. Nowadays, I'll host LAN parties occasionally, but most of my gaming is with a group of buddies in StarCraft II.
