Lester has always been drawn towards the spotlight. Growing up as the youngest in a family of four kids he strived to be at the same level as his older siblings throughout all of their creative outlets. Realizing that he was blessed with the gift of balance and agility he first took to skateboarding and snowboarding to express himself. He was introduced to the art of fire dancing at the Oregon Country Fair and has been enthralled by its beauty and mesmerizing movement ever since. Today Lester is known for his jaw-dropping performances as he takes fire dancing to unimaginable new heights. He spreads the knowledge that he has learned openly and continually seeks inspiration from those open to sharing. He specializes in double staff, contact staff, and poi and has recently been developing his hoop groove. Lester has a B.S. in International Business and a minor in International and Comparative politics from Oregon State University. He runs a very successful business (Fire Groove) with his two sisters Hannah and Kamala that has helped spread the art form to those people interested in learning.

Lester has now started classes in Lake Tahoe for the winter, and looks forward to sharing as much as he can about the art form before he leaves.
