As an actor, I have played principal roles on the New York stage and in regional theaters across the country. Venues include New York’s Tony and Obie Award-winning Public Theatre, Symphony Space, Jean Cocteau Repertory, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Utah Shakespeare Festival, Great Lakes Theatre Festival, Idaho Shakespeare Festival and Dallas Theater Center.
As a voice and text specialist I have worked with PBS, New York's Public Theatre, American Players Theatre, Chicago's Tony Award-winning Victory Gardens Theatre, Baltimore Centerstage, Studio Theatre, Portland Center Stage, Dallas Theater Center, Stage West, Kitchen Dog Theatre, Shakespeare Festival of Dallas and WaterTower Theatre.
I hold memberships in Actors' Equity Association (AEA), the Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA) and France's Centre Artistique International Roy Hart (CAIRH). I received my M.F.A. in Acting from the University of Delaware and I am a certified Roy Hart voice teacher.
Playwriting credits include PEACOCK, a solo play about Kenneth Tynan and his psychosexual obsession with silent film star Louise Brooks, and IN TIME OF ROSES, an adaptation of a story thread lifted from William Shakespeare's HENRY VI trilogy.
I live in Washington, DC with my wife and children. I currently serve as Assistant Professor of Voice and Acting at the University of Maryland's School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies.
