Occupation: I have to pick just one?

At present in a "Triangle Trade" life bouncing between living near Breckenridge Colorado, acting, skiing and instructing there, while officially working in the Raleigh-Durham North Carolina area, for "BigFinancialCompany" based in Boston, Mass. On way too many airplanes... but that's bagging me free ski trips to Chile and to see ancient temples in Thailand.

Have had the good fortune of twice in my "day job" career having managers who are also performers (one a dancer and another in a rock band) so it's good to work with people who get it. "Thanks for the job offer but I can't work late because it's tech week for a show..."

Recent travel included skiing in Portillo, Chile, and a long weekend in Budapest.

Taking a break from performing and auditioning due to the winter/spring ski season and other commitments. Recent theatre work includes roles in Equus at Lake Dillon Theatre Company, and with the Backstage Theatre Company in Breckenridge, in Travels With My Aunt, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Foreigner, and as one of the evil dead husbands in The Smell of the Kill. Also stage managed some other shows.

Everything works both ways...

That's a line from the show I'm currently doing. Not my line - I just get perfect male chauvinist pig lines like "Where are my cigars?" and throw golf balls at my "wife" Trina, but I digress...I'm not...

Chasing rainbows

Some time ago a friend emailed me a gorgeous picture of a rainbow over Lake Dillon, complete with a lovely story of seeing the rainbow, driving out to find its end - and finding it. Feeling an amazing...
