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 and was a Resident Artist with Artists Repertory Theatre for 15 seasons.

I 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.

What interests me is experiencing a human being breathing, walking and living on stage.
