I was a junior high teacher for 35 years, retiring in June 2016. The last 13 years of my career, I was teaching film classes, teaching the kids the process of film making from script writing through production and post. Teaching my students reignited my passion for storytelling and film making.
I'm also a musician, playing piano, guitar, and bass. My current position is bass in "The Matter" () and in Good At Rockets ().
In 2023 I started acting, appearing in a number of student films and passion projects.
Unique traits: Ability to read scripts in Spanish, Swedish, and German.
