Originally from Northern California, Devon made his way to Los Angeles to continue his career as a professional dancer and choreographer in 2000. Currently represented by Trio Talent Agency, he has worked as a dancer on projects for such artists as J-Lo and The A-teens, and has been featured in commercial ad campaigns for Heineken Beer, Bally's Total Fitness, and Honda USA. Devon has also worked as a choreographer for the Calvin Klein "Crave" release promo tour, the Miss Asia USA pageant, and the Vina Morales US tour "Revealed." He has most recently been seen on tour with American Idol's Jasmine Trias, and can be seen "locking" in Jamie Kennedy's recent comedy film "Kickin' It Old School."

The director of the hip hop performance troupe "SickStep" (recently a finalist on Season 3 of America's Got Talent), Devon has a familiarity with a wide range of hip hop dance styles -- from commercial hip hop most commonly seen in music videos to freestyle dances such as locking, house, and bboyin'. Strongly influenced by hip-hop culture, he embraces all forms of dance and movement. He believes that hip-hop music and style are constantly evolving by borrowing and integrating aspects of other styles, and therefore so should hip-hop dance. His classes and choreography focus on this by incorporating as many different influences as possible.

Devon has been teaching dance almost as long as he has been performing, having led Master-class workshops throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. An instructor that has previously taught at acclaimed Hollywood studios such as Hama's Dance Center and The Millenium Dance Complex, he can currently be found teaching hip hop weekly in two renowned studios in Orange County: Impact Dance Center in Los Alamitos, and Team OC in Costa Mesa, CA.
