[email protected] Interests and Fields I am a professional actor with over 30 years of professional experience at the nation’s premiere regional theaters. I have collaborated with some of the most influential, honored and well-respected directors in the field. In television and film I have worked with Academy Award and Emmy nominated and winning directors. As a producer, I have been at the helm of productions that have succeeded from artistic and financial standpoints. My experience and interest in teaching is in sparking creative impulses and interests in students who may not have had any previous theatre experience and helping them to apply their creativity to all of life’s endeavors.
