My background is in acting–I made my living as an actor in New York for fifteen years prior to coming to Wheaton–but since coming to Wheaton, I have become increasingly fascinated by the act of creating theater within a community or company setting, as well as in questions of actor training within the context of an undergraduate liberal arts education. I am a lover of Shakespeare, although I am not a Shakespearean scholar, and have a specific interest in Shakespearean performance. My wife Mary and I have three beautiful daughters adopted from The People’s Republic of China.
