Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia is my place of birth; and Mongolia is renowned around the world for developing artists performing the art of contortion. My journey to becoming a contortionist began at the age of 5; even though at that time, at heart, I wanted to become a circus clown. My family has been, and still is, very supportive in my choice to become the best possible contortionist I can be. This loving support helped me win several medals from 1991 to 1995. From 1984 to 1990 I trained in the Mongolian State Circus and went on to tour around the world with the Mongolian State Circus from 1992 to 1997.

This journey then took me to the amazing Cirque Du Soleil "O" show at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Participating in an elegant display of contortion over a stage of water was truly life changing. One must see this show to truly enjoy this wonderful display of contortionists and other artists and acts coming together like an elegant ballet.

I have also been involved in several movies, television shows and participated in a national ad campaign for the "Got Milk?" ad campaign developed by the California Milk Processor Board. In 2003 I was able to enjoy touring with Paul McCartney on the "Back in the World" Tour. During December of 2003, I participated in a peformance of "The Nutcracker", where I performed a contortionist display during the Arabian Dance and performed foot juggling in the Russian Dance.

Currently, in July of 2004, I have found myself returning to my home country of Mongolia to see my friends and family. Other enjoyments that I have include volunteering my time to help others, painting, and traveling. Looking forward into the future, I plan to help other young promising children develop their talents in the art of contortion

Take care
