About
I serve as the Artistic Director of the Adirondack Shakespeare Company, teach online for St. John’s University, and work as an Academic Coach at Academics West, a therapeutic school on the UWS.
Fun fact: I have performed in 22 of Shakespeare’s plays, Hamlet being the most common (four times in four different roles). This is followed closely by a five-way tie between As You Like It, Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Merchant of Venice, Richard III, and Romeo & Juliet (three times each). Education
