I have been Theatre Arts Director at Antioch High School since 1996 and an adjunct theatre professor for Los Medanos College since 2001 where I've directed shows such as Twelfth Night, Welcome to the Monkeyhouse, and Barefoot in the Park. A Panther alumni, I earned my BA in Drama from UC Irvine and MA in Theatre Directing from the Chicago College of Performing Arts. Before teaching, I worked as an actor, director, producer, and Arts Education Administrator for the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival for 3 years. In 2002, I won a Dean Goodman Choice Award for my performance in Sight Unseen at Walnut Creek's Playhouse West. In 2006 I founded Antioch Classical Theatre Company - bringing professional actors together with student performers - with whom I performed the title role of Hamlet in 2008 and have directed A Midsummer Night's Dream and Taming of the Shrew. You can check out our audio productions at ShakespeareCast.com. Most recently, I was seen as Mitch in Hapgood Theatre Company's production of Tuesdays with Morrie. I am a longtime member of Actors' Equity Association and Theatre Bay Area. For the last year I have also been the Technology Coordinator for AHS.
