Born and raised in the “Boogie Down Bronx”,  New York City (October 25,1969), he began his pursuit of street dance in the 80`s with a Hip Hop style known as Electric Boogie at the age of ten in his neighborhood and school gatherings. He trained under pioneers such as Ol’ School Maurice, Fury, Louie New-wave and Lil Shake.  At the age of sixteen he was introduced to the club styles of House after going to clubs in Manhattan. Having mastered the Hip-hop and House styles, he began to showcase his ability to freestyle in the most challenging forum known to the street dancer-“The Circle”.

In addition to dance, he trained in Martial arts with Grandmaster Shihan Dai Rai Noh of the Ketsu- Rai Blackwinds Association. This duality helped him to fuse his soulfulness with a unique control of his movements giving him an edge over the dancers who only knew how to improvise to beats.          

After finishing school he began to work and perform for many different companies. He is well known throughout the dance community for his unique style of dance fusing Hip Hop, House, martial arts, known as "HOUSE WAVING". 

In 2007 he became the first House Dance International (World Premier Urban Dance Festival) champion in the Experimental category, and won again in 2008.  In late summer/fall of 2007, Mamiko Shimura (CEO) and Future "Ninja" (A.D.) created a company called F.U.S.E. Dance, LLC.  Since then Future has moved and now is the  FOUNDER of "ELEMENTS OF FUTURE"..E.O.F.nyc,inc.5/2010) It's purpose amongst many, "IS" to help people become "individuals" in the dance world by providing a "FREE SOUL" environment in which to do so, NO EGOS! We also have been able to bring together a collective of well "internationally" known Dancers, Choreographers, Historians, Performers. He is currently a member of “Full Circle Productions", a NY Hip Hop dance theater company, and the world renowned fashion, dance, and performance group, the “House of Ninja”.  Since January 2008, Future has toured other countries sharing his spiritual dance experiences with a philosophical approach called "ZEN CHI PHILOSOPHY". The TEMPLE of ZEN CHI IS a movement manifested by the practitioner to attain enlightenment in ALL things... soul, spirit, SELF, dance, LIFE!  His travels have brought him to SD CALIFORNIA, JAPAN(3x), CZECH REPUBLIC, ENGLAND, GERMANY, and MONTREAL, CANADA, and continues GOD's mission in DANCE to inspire many to "FREE THEIR MIND BODY & SOULS" and know "they are light"!!

GOD BLESS!!
