About Me

I have been involved in theatre for over 20 years. During my theatrical career I has participated in almost every aspect of the business both on stage and behind the scenes, including acting, directing, stage managing, script writing, and being the Artistic Director of a theatre department in South Korea's multi-million dollar "English Village".

In Santa Rosa, Ca. I was involved with the Santa Rosa Players while I studied at Santa Rosa Junior College. From there I attended the Performing Conservatory of the Performing Arts, a two-year acting conservatory program in Santa Maria, CA. before moving to Chicago to gain my B.F.A. from Roosevelt University.

While in Chicago I worked with TinFish Theatre, The Anthanaeum Theatre and the Chicago Dramatists Workshop. I performed with many T.Y.A touring companies including National Theatre for Children, Kids Matter, Inc., and Poetry Alive!.

After a two year engagement with Outdoor Drama I moved to New York and received my M.F.A. from the Actors Studio Drama School studying under Ellen Barkin, Arthur Storch, Ron Leibman and Elizabeth Kemp.

I dabbled in the Cabaret circuit with two cabaret shows: "Reflections of a Dream", performed at Pieces Cabaret Room in 2005 and "Can You Hold? That's My Life Calling" at Danny's Grand Sea Palace.

In 2006, I headed the Drama Program in Brooklyn, NY for Oasis Children's Camp, teaching under-priviledged children theatre and co-directed a shortened version of The Wiz. The following year I headed the Drama Program for Camp Regis-Applejack in the Adirondack Mountains.

I joined English Village in South Korea in 2007 and worked there for three years. I performed in seven main-stage productions, wriote six scripts and headed a game show activity as well as gave workshops and classes on acting, Neutral American Speech and Stage Combat.

In 2008, I became the Artistic Director for the Edutainer Department and went on to produce 12 mainstage shows, 6 game shows, created 2 "Children Day" shows and developed a two-week drama training program for Elementary teachers in South Korea.

I am currently an acting coach in Raleigh, NC and teach Acting, Scene Study and Audition Technique with the North Raliegh Arts and Creative Theatre.
