Con was first  introduced to Salsa many years ago in Christchurch, New Zealand at the now closed Salsa Fusion Dance studio. After this introduction to Latin dancing, Con caught the so called "Latin Dance bug" and had a growing interest in Latin dance and thirst for knowledge that was slowly taking over his life. To keep feeding this habit he moved up to Auckland in 2009 to join the prestigious Latinissimo performance team under the guidance of head coach Masha Johansson (now at Latin Dance Hub Nelson).

It wasn't long before Latin Dancing had completely taken over Con's life and he was helpless to fight back, so he embraced it all and shifted to Sydney to attend Latin Motion Dance Academy - at the time receiving one of the first training scholarships under the tuition of Oliver Pineda and Vali Damaskou. Whilst living in Sydney, on two separate occasions, Con amassed a huge amount of knowledge in both Street Latin dance and Ballroom Latin American dance technique and theory, along with dabbling in Adult Jazz.

Con has a wealth of competition experience tabulated below. In 2011 he turned professional after winning the Australian Amateur Salsa title at the Australian Salsa Classic with Kate Barnes. Sadly, he eventually had to return to NZ for health reasons and has taken a long break from professional competition. He now enjoys sharing his interest in dance with others, hoping to inspire them as he was once inspired.
