I got into theater because of my two daughters. They auditioned for a production of Fiddler on the Roof out at the Kitsap Forest Theater. My wife and I were encouraged to audition as well. We made it a big family thing, all reading plays together and practicing our monologues and songs for each other. The kids got their parts, and somehow I got the part of Lazar Wolf, which was pretty good for a first show. It was a blast. The Forest Theater is a special place, so we kept doing shows out there as a family for many years. Over time, my wife and younger daughter lost interest in performing. My older daughter is still full-on, a BFA student at the University of Minnesota. You may get a video from her. As for me, acting opened up a part of myself that had never had expression before, a way of adventuring into all kinds of human existence. I have tried to get better at it. I wish I'd found it earlier. I've been lucky enough to do some great shows with better actors around Seattle. I took a couple of years off to spend as much time with my kids as possible before they left for college, but now that they are out, I'm eager to see how fart this will take me while I can still do it. I know there's a lot of parts I'm probably too old for, but I try to be fearless, flexible, and fierce as I go along. Thanks for listening.

I do not have an agent and am looking for representation
