This past year has been such an honour being Junior Mister 2025, and now I’m beyond honored and grateful to have been crowned Teen mister 2026. This week has been one I’ll never forget, and I’m so thankful for all the memories i’ve made and to have been able to dance with so many talented people.

First of all, thank you to my family for always believing in me, supporting me through every competition, and reminding me to never give up. I wouldn’t be here without you. @jacubelecube @1vjasonx @z3jharrison

To my incredible teachers and choreographers, thank you for constantly pushing me to become a better dancer and person.
