About me I’m the director of education at Town Hall Arts Center and a freelance theater actor. I’ve been living in the area for about five years. I went to high school in Pueblo and I’ve lived all around for school and work. I finally came back to Colorado and decided to go up to Denver. It’s perfect. It’s just big enough to do theater but it’s not too big. I did a little acting in both New York and Los Angeles, but there’s no real theater community in either place because it’s just too big. I just bought a house in Littleton, which I’m excited about. Getting into theater I was not very good socially, and in high school finding theater made a huge change in my life, just having a group of people and finding something that I was good at. The first show that I went to, a friend talked me into going and if you had the guts to get onstage and sing a song, then you were in and they’d figure out what to do with you later. That created an instant community and a group of friends, and I stuck with that. I act in shows here at Town Hall and around Denver whenever I get a chance. I also do fight choreography. Favorite shows I’m a huge, huge Shakespeare fan. Whenever I get a chance, I teach it. I learned to do fight choreography so that I could do more Shakespeare. In the summers, I’ve started a Shakespeare program where I get to direct a bunch of teens. This summer, we’re going to do “As You Like It.” A couple months ago I got to do “The Toxic Avenger” with Equinox Theatre Company. That was a lot of fun, I’m not usually a musicals guy but that was a blast.
