There are moments in a career that leave a mark forever — this is one of them. 💚🩷✨
To the extraordinary dancers of Wicked: thank you for pouring your artistry, discipline, and heart into every step. You transformed choreography into living, breathing storytelling.
To my radiant Glinda @justinajanzen_ and fearless Elphaba @averyvillamere — you carried this with such truth, vulnerability, and brilliance. Watching you soar in these roles was nothing short of magic. 💫
unlimited. In Wicked, it’s a lyric of hope and possibility — but through this process, it became a mirror for my own journey. It reminded me that when you open yourself fully to the work, to collaboration, and to the courage of telling stories with honesty through dance, the possibilities truly have no limit. Dance, as an art form, carries that same truth: it reaches beyond words, touches the soul, and reminds us that what we create together ripples far beyond the stage. For me as a choreographer, this moment has redefined what I believe is possible — not just for the work, but for myself. That word now lives in me as both a promise and a calling. 💫
From the deepest part of me: thank you. This was more than a project. It was a defining chapter, filled with meaning, emotion, and gratitude I will carry forever. @otfdance

Grateful for this life, this journey, and the people who make it so meaningful. This year I’m stepping in with clarity, purpose, and JOY. The last year taught me how to refocus, go after what matters, and slow down enough to appreciate it.
If you want to celebrate with me—do something kind for someone else today. Spread it forward. ♥️
97 years — and it still doesn’t feel like enough.
This morning we lost Grandpa, and my heart feels heavier knowing the world is a little quieter without him in it. He was our constant — a proud father, a loving grandpa and great-grandpa, a loyal OTF fan, and one of the strongest, kindest men I’ve ever known. He was comfort, steadiness, laughter, and love wrapped into one beautiful life. But more than anything, he was ours.
Now he’s in heaven, reunited with Grandma, Pam, Kim, Mike and little Max — together again, held in peace and love. I imagine him whole, happy and finally resting - surrounded by love, smiling that familiar smile, watching over us the way he always did.
Thank you for the love you gave so freely, the lessons you taught without even trying, and the legacy that will live on in all of us. I’ll carry you with me always.
Fly high, angel. We love you more than words can say. 🤍🕊️
Canada shore premiere with my cutie! So proud of you @revemtl for having the opening and closing credits track ♥️🎶#canadashore 📸 @georgepimentel1 #paramountplus
Today we celebrated Max’s heavenly birthday. Today he would of been 4. I miss him so much. Watching his little sister Lily run around today reminded me so much of the last time I saw him. Full of life and full of love. Let’s continue to spread love in honour of our sweet boy Max ♥️ Happy birthday Max, love your uncle Mitchy (who your sister has now renamed Meebo) xo
What an unforgettable evening - filled with heart, generosity, and a community that continues to show up in the most extraordinary way. Together, we celebrated not just a gala, but a movement: a shared commitment to supporting the Child Life Department at SickKids Hospital.
Every cheer, every hug, every moment and every donation was a reminder that when we unite around a cause, we can create something bigger than ourselves.
Supporting the Child Life Department at SickKids means giving children the chance to still be kids, even while facing the hardest battles of their lives. Thank you to our incredible SickKids ambassadors, for your unwavering bravery - and for sharing your stories. 💜
To everyone who attended, donated, and poured love into this cause - thank you. The impact we create together will be felt by countless children and families when they need it most.
I’m beyond grateful to stand alongside this community, to celebrate the hope we’ve built together, and to know that the impact of this night will ripple far beyond the gala walls. ✨
To the dancers, choreographers and the entire OTF team - thank you for bringing your talent, energy, and heart to the stage. Your artistry lifted the night to another level and helped create an unforgettable experience for everyone in the room.
And most of all, to my business partner, @lhupe - none of this would shine the same without you. Your strength, heart, and endless support light the way and make everything possible. I’m grateful to share both the work and the journey with you. 💜
Here’s to the community we’ve built, the lives we touch. And Here’s to more love, more healing, and more magic for the kids.
