I am a Director, Actor and Teacher living in Portland, Oregon. Originally from Detroit, Michigan I have lived and pursued a career in the arts in Portland since 1991. I am Artistic Director of Portland Shakespeare Project, a Resident Artist with Artists Repertory Theatre, a Teacher on staff with Portland Actors Conservatory and also teach a host of private classes and one on ones from monologue development to scene study. Whether directing, teaching or acting I strive to create and guide others to create a visceral intimate experience that allows an audience a familiar glimpse into the private and personal lives unfolding before them.
