About me

I'm recently retired from Federal service and am working to get back to my roots in the Performing Arts at which I toiled productively for 40 years before going into Federal service after 9/11. I worked in all areas of the Performing Arts as a performer, director, stage mgr., musical director/conductor, choreographer, scenic and lighting designer/technical director and technician. I've acted in non-musical and musical theatre and film, sung in small opera companies, danced in smaller ballet companies and performed all of the above mentioned functions as well. I am a member of AEA, (SAG/AFTRA eligible) and IATSE.
