Theatre I, Theatre IV
Director, Designer,

"I have just completed my 34th year working with high school theatre.  I spent nineteen years at Floyd Central High School in Floyd Knobs, Indiana before moving to the Las Vegas Academy. I also spent two years as the Marketing Director for the Theatre Department at the University of Evansville. I have been active with the International Thespian Society for many years, serving as a sponsor, State Director, Regional Director, and many other positions. During my career I have directed nearly 150 productions, of which twelve have been selected as main stage presentations for the International Thespian Festival. I consider my greatest honor as being selected to direct the National Cast production of Ragtime, School Edition for Thespian Festival 2005. I have recently been elected to the Educational Theatre Association’s Hall of Fame. I have been married to my incredibly understanding wife Jean for thirty-eight years. We have two grown daughters, Jenni and Ellie, both successful in their respective careers. Our oldest daughter Jenni and her husband Grant are expecting our first grand child in September 2009.

I take great pride in those students that have passed through my classroom and theatre doors.  The Blue Man you see here is a former student of mine, Colin, who works in the New York company of the Blue Man Group.
