About Me
I am a stage combatant, I'm a motion picture clown, I'm the director who thinks it's only fun if we surprise 'em. The way I see it , a story is a meal. It's a communion. It's something that you have brought to the table for the community, for mankind to share and grow together. It's at the core of what makes us human and it is the centerpiece of our civilization. For over 30 years, I have tried to find better ways to perform a story--on film, on stage, on the page, in the studio, and from the podium.

My Work I don't believe in staying in one's lane. Certainly not in the arts. It's our job as human beings to push ourselves and to invite others to push themselves. I have found that whenever I shift my focus (from performer to director to educator) something will only let me stay there for a minute before I'm pulled back.
I've spent equal parts directing, acting, coaching, studying, and teaching performance--be it acting, stage combat, or even good old fashioned rhetoric and public speaking. I simply love being in the room with other artists. I love being at the moment of creation.

This last year, I have sorely missed performing live, but I have been fortunate to continue film work with my colleagues and students. As an actor and producer, I am particularly proud of the work we did on Ark Exitus under the capable direction of Johnny Yong Bosch. |
