Bubba (Gordon) Mingus was born in Mobile, AL and has been living in Slidell, LA since 1984. He began calling while he was still taking class under his teacher/mentor, Tony DiGeorge in 1985. Bubba primarily calls for the southern region from Louisiana to Florida. He currently teaches a beginner class at his home club Ozone Squares in Mandeville, LA. Bubba's style of calling is much like his choice in music: high-energy, up-beat and modern. He has a full-time career as a General Manager with Sam's Club. Bubba and his wife, Cindy, love this activity and the fellowship it brings. His goal as a Caller is to "carry the torch, share this wonderful activity, and its great traditions, as did my predecessors." |
