Born in California, I have ended up in New York City (via Washington DC , Dallas, Texas and New York City - trip one). I have a mother and father, five brothers, 2 sister-in-laws, 1 sister-in-law to be, a small gaggle of nieces and nephews, a very cool ex-wife, an amazing son, a fantastic partner, and two dogs - Marcus and Brian - the two cutest min-pins in the world.
I graduated from Rim of the World High School in Lake Arrowhead, California (although I only attended there one semester - I also attended Santa Rosa High School and Glendora High School). I attended UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara, where I graduate with honors. I received my MFA in Stage Management from the University of California, San Diego.
Since they I have not only been a freelance stage manager, I served as the resident production stage manager for the Dallas Theatre Center, as well as my current position, the resident production stage manager for the Shakespeare Theatre Company. I moved to NYC at the end of April, 2010 to take over as PSM for The 39 Steps off Broadway
I live a perfectly boring life - filled with too much work, not enough off time, and a lot of video gaming playing. (Well, you have to do something at 2:00a when you can’t sleep.)
Recently have been on a huge health kick, have shed 165 pounds, dropped my blood pressure, and started working out.

Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
