The single biggest influence in my life has been travel. I am
fortunate to have lived and worked in Zambia, Ecuador, and England.
The US is not quite the same after living in the African bush
or up in the Andes or in an English village. In the U.S., I
lived in New York City and in Memphis, TN (where I got in touch
with my inner Elvis :-) Currently I am in Hartford, CT. where
I teach 9th graders at the Watkinson School in a special learning
skills program. One day I hope to teach in Spain or South America.
The creative arts have been important to me since I was a kid.
I studied Theater and English Literature at City College of
NY. In Zambia and England I worked in radio production. The
work I do blends creative arts with biblical inspiration. This
includes leading drama workshops and Bibliodramas. When I perform
"Footprints, An Inspirational Comedy," it is as much
a form of worship as it is a performance.
In daily life I seek creative outlets through writing, reading,
performing, teaching, hiking, cooking and swimming. Works in
progress include two novels, a children's book called The Funky
Fullini Family Reunion, and two performance pieces. Seeing people
find joy and expression through creative arts is something that
I enjoy immensely. Anyone can sing; anyone can act; anyone can
write, and I love to see someone find his or her voice.
