About Me
Current Projects
- I just started rehearsals for my return to the stage! I will be playing several juicy character roles in Robert Schenkkan's ALL THE WAY, with the Justice Theatre Project. This Tony award winning play goes behind the doors of the Oval Office, and examines the first year of LBJ’s presidency. and his fight to pass a landmark civil rights bill.
Other recent work:
- I'M NOT HERE RIGHT NOW- a comic audio fiction by Shea Stanley, set in a "bad college hot dog joint".
- THE BIG BOOK OF MISUNDERSTANDING, written by Jim Gladstone, is a beautifully written, heartfelt, coming of age story.

A Lifetime of Acting
I began my acting career as a child in Binghamton, NY. I was a shy kid, but I was inspired to take the stage by my high school Drama teacher, Helen Foley. (Miss Foley also was a big influence of TWILIGHT ZONE creator Rod Serling.) After high school, I moved to New York to study acting. For several years, I toured the US performing adaptations of classic literature with Chamber Theatre, Biggs/Rosati Productions, and other companies. While in my 30's I decided to put acting on hold for a while, got my Master's Degree, and began a 22-year career as a school technology specialist In NYC and North Carolina. While teaching in North Carolina, I was able to continue my love of theatre, appearing in more than 50 reginal productions, and was twice awarded the Cantey Award for Best Supporting Actor at Raleigh Little Theatre. I retired from my teaching career in 2019, and now devote all of my time to acting and audiobook narration.
