Dante is a proud native of Vicksburg, Mississippi. He attended both East Mississippi College and the University of Mississippi. As a cheerleader throughout high school and college, it was unimaginable that he would be able to call himself an NFL cheerleader, being apart of the history-making movement of males entering the professional world of NFL cheerleading. He is also no stranger to the stage, having represented Mississippi in four national competitions and most recently being crowned Mister Universal USA.
