About

I bring over 30 years acting experience across 3 continents to everything I do. Being part of the 1st generation of D&D players, I always love diving into fantasy worlds with colorful characters. I enjoy bringing stories to life for children and teens alike, having done that for many years as a classroom teacher and itinerant actor around the world. That cultural exposure - and becoming fluent in other languages - gives me a deep appreciation for varied accents and country perspectives.
