Bio

Drama and Film teacher at a private school in San Jose, CA that places a strong emphasis on all aspects of the performing arts. Originally from the Bay Area, spent several years working as an actor on both coasts.  After doing two national tours, regional work and a year on a cruise ship - my wife and I decided it was time to settle back in San Jose. I still perform and am truly blessed to be working at a school with such a supporting community for the arts.
