Welcome,
I've  been a theatre artist for over 30 years. Originally from North Carolina, I lived and worked in NYC for 20 years and now reside in Northeast Ohio.
 I am entering my 10th year as assistant Artistic director of Porthouse Theatre, Northeast Ohio's premier summer theatre.  For Porthouse, I have  directed Fiddler on the Roof, Pump Boys and Dinettes and Dames at Sea and choreographed  Once On This Island, Big River, and The Fantasticks.  Performace credits at Porthouse include  The Music Man ( Hill), Damn Yankees ( Applegate), The  Odd Couple ( Felix), and  The Foreigner ( Charlie).
As an actor, I have worked internationally, in New York and with regional theatres throughout the United States.
 Since 2002 I have been a faculty member of the School of Theatre and Dance at Kent State University, where I serve as Performance Area Coordinator. At Kent State  I have directed and or choreographed over 15 productions, including She Stoops to Conquer, Ragtime, Oklahoma, Cloud Nine, The Diviners, Working, Lysistrata, A New Brian, The Wild Party, and Honk.
As a choreographer, my work has been seen at the Halle Theater , St. Louis Repertory, Connecticut Rep , and Cain Park. 
 
I am a member of Actors Equity Association and the Society of Directors and Choreographers. 

 Here's a 2 part video created for  a production of Pippin  that I directed in 2011.
