Thanks for visiting my website. This site will introduce you to some my work primarily as a director, choreographer and producer on plays, musicals, operas, and an upcoming documentary. My time these days is spent more as a director, teacher, and Founding Artistic Director of Florida’s First Coast Arts Festival in St. Augustine, Florida (the oldest city in the US). I also host a TV show on the Arts called Gallery produced by WUFT-PBS here in Gainesville, Florida. I do not choreograph as much, although I still enjoy musical staging and sometimes choreographing a number or two. If it’s a smaller musical I enjoy taking on both tasks.
Between teaching full-time at the University of Florida and working on three to four upcoming projects I keep myself really busy, but feel truly blessed for it all. For over twenty-seven years, my work as an actor, singer, dancer, and director have taken me from coast to coast and abroad. I truly enjoyed my thirteen years as a performer, making my professional debut in Houston at Theatre Under the Stars at nineteen years of age in a production of Oklahoma!, starring John Schnieder, fresh from "The Dukes of Hazzard." The show also included Martin Vidnovic as Jud, who had just completed the 1979 Broadway revival. My journey as a performer happily continued until one day I began directing and teaching and found myself enjoying a different form of creativity. I have never regretted that decision, and I feel that as a director and teacher you need to understand the other side of the artist’s journey in rehearsals and performance.
I hope you enjoy visiting my site and if you have any questions please contact me, or just say hello!
