Besides trout fishing, furthering the expression of words and music is my favorite way to spend my time. Over the last 13 years, I’ve been consistently working in the theatre: as performer, sound technician, in scenic design/carpentry and as a technical director. I’ve never stopped loving the art of bringing stories to an audience. STORIES ARE WHAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

This project is special because of its originality and perspective brought by such a powerhouse of a team. The text we’re presenting by, my man, Frank O’Hara is genius on so many levels. He keeps it casual while explaining such a grand scene: the way I try to live my life –“Fly Casual” – Hans Solo (The Return of the Jedi). Bringing my love of story telling and text to schools is what I’m most excited about. It’s always an honor to share my experience as an artist with students who are openly learning about themselves and their passions.
