Collin comes from a dance family and started at the early age of 8. After his first competition, he was hooked and never looked back as he loved performing and dancing with all his heart. In his early years, he trained in the International Ballroom and Latin styles, winning multiple National titles in all age divisions. Then in High School, his love changed to the American Smooth style and he dedicated himself to mastering that style. He won multiple National and World titles in the both Youth and Amateur age categories. He attended Brigham Young University and was on their prestigious Touring Company winning both Latin and Ballroom British Formation Championships, reached the top 48 in the Latin category at the Blackpool Dance Festival and toured around the US and the UK. He was also an assistant student director at Utah Valley University for their Touring Company, choreographing and competing with them at Blackpool to win both Latin and Ballroom British Formation Championships again.
