I’m based out of Portland Oregon, where I live with my wife and daughter.  I started in the business at age 4 as Pig Pen in a production of a Charlie Brown Christmas.  From there, I continued performing through all my schooling, majoring in theatre at University of Southern Maine (Magna Cum Laude), interning at Maine State Music Theatre, and moving around the country performing and such.  I came to Portland to do summer stock and stayed by accident.  I make my living as a lighting designer in dance, and have toured internationally.  I compose music for plays as well, with many sound design credits as well.  My work spans everything from semi-mainstream to slightly scandalous to children’s works.  I love them all.
