Since coming to New York in 1974, (and after starving, driving a cab, working in a bakery and at Saks 5th Avenue), I have been pursuing an exciting and diverse career in show business.

I started as an actor but, since I didn't really sing, and definately didn't dance,
the roles were too few and far between.
I did a little modeling - even had a Stetson ad placed in Playboy Magazine.
But, back then (1977, pre Tom Selleck), I couldn't get booked with a mustache.

But since my college career included all kinds of theatre experiences, I found lots of work Off Broadway on electric and carpenter crews and as a stage manager.
I spent some time at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts - on staff,
The Public Theatre and The Actors Studio - among other places.

I even went out on the road for a while with a non-Equity tour of  "1776" and Voices Inc.

  My Complete Resume

In 1980 I made it to Broadway as a stage manager and even had to "go on" for a week of shows when an understudy was unavailable.
The show was called "Marlowe."

In 1984 I began working on "La Cage Aux Folles,"
first as a sub stage manager, then as a dresser.
This lasted for almost 4 years, after which I went
out on the road with Harry Belafonte (see below).




From 1988-1990 I did my Local #1 Stagehand apprenticeship at CBS,
as a carpenter - building and repairing scenery.
I also worked at NBC, on the "Donahue Show"
and on the Broadway show "Cats" as a sub follow spot operator.

From 1990 to 1997 I worked on "Phantom of the Opera"
as a carpenter, propman, flyman and front light operator.
Most of my last three years there were under contract as Assistant Propman - driving the Phantom's remote control boat.
I was even sent to Atlanta to drive the boat in an emergency.

From April '97 to July '98 I was at the Imperial Theatre as Assistant Propman
on "Les Miserables".

Beginning in May of 1997,
I began working at Disney's New Amsterdam Theatre on 42nd Street.
The theatre had a Grand Re-Opening with the World Premiere of "King David"
followed by the World Premiere of Disney's "Hercules' Summer Spectacular and Light Show Parade". (I was inside, as Propman for the stage show.)
Then came "The Lion King". What a show! It will be around for years!!
I was a sub on the show in the prop department during the first year of the run.

THESE ARE JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS!!!

From the end of 1998 into mid 2001, I was at the Plymouth Theater on "Jekyll & Hyde" followed by "Bells Are Ringing."
During that time, I did several load-ins and load-outs of other Broadway shows such as: "Hedda Gabler," "Mama Mia," "Thou Shalt Not," "A Class Act," "Seussical,"
"The Allergist's Wife," "Taller Than A Dwarf,"
"Ride Down Mt. Morgan," " Puttin' It Together,
" Voices in the Dark," "Parade," and
"Fascinatin' Rhythm."
From September 2001 to March 2002, I was subbing in the prop department on "42nd Street."





From March till June 2002 I was at The Martin Beck Theatre (now called the Hirschfeld

During all this Theatre activity,
I also worked on "Sesame Street"
for six wonderful seasons...1...2...3...4...5...6
(from 1990 - 1995)
Alas, I never met Jim Henson. He passed away just before I started.

But I have met Big Bird and Elmo and Telly and Cookie Monster
and all the rest.

And I met a lot of famous people too!

Here are just a few:
