My Passion for the arts...

“The first prerogative of an artist in any medium is to make a fool of himself.”

Welcome to my website! This is the home of all my creative endeavors. I believe that we are all infinitely more creative than we could possibly imagine. My endeavor in life is to realize my own creativity and artistry to its fullest potential. I believe that this takes action, perseverance, and above all, a sense of fun and playfulness. This pursuit has taken me down many different avenues—many of which are represented here. Be sure to check out my blog for news updates (including performance dates!) and email me with any thoughts/questions/musings on life. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing from you!

My Passion for mentoring...

“I’m not a teacher, only a fellow traveler of whom you’ve asked the way. I pointed ahead--ahead of myself as well as you.” -George Bernard Shaw

Teaching inspires me and cultivates my own artistic growth. I continue to be overjoyed when I watch a student take a risk, do something they thought they couldn’t do, experience the delight of letting go and being in the moment onstage, surprise him or herself, defy expectations—essentially, blossom. It is a feeling that is as gratifying as any standing ovation. I strive to give students permission to have confidence and ignite their personal passions, watering the seeds of possibility and watching them grow.
