about

I have acted or directed for most of the professional theaters in the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle Repertory Theater, ACT, 5th Avenue, and Intiman. After an unsettling role — as a serial killer in Theater 9/12’s A Shade of Green — I was apparently so convincing (check out this review) that no one had the courage to hire me for months after. So I started Thalia’s Umbrella.

I was also one of the seven co-founders of the Seattle Shakespeare Company (I was Doc), and served as a co-artistic director there for six years. I directed our inaugural production of Richard III, and a production of Macbeth starring a pre-Buffy (and pre-British accent) James Marsters.

The Seattle Times called my performances as Billy in Billy Bishop Goes to War at the Bathhouse Theater and in Howards End at Book-It as “stellar performances” in their respective years. My direction of Memoirs of a Forgotten Man at Thalia’s Umbrella earned a Gregory Award nomination.
