“Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates” Mark TwainI am a MADE GUY in the Steel City Mafia. Now that thats out of da way.....I am married to the sexy and talented Caitlin Davis Funk. We have one beautiful daughter, Kennedy. Kennedy was two years old on Feb. 8, 2007. The newest edition to the family is my son Duvall, born on March 12, 2007.I am an actor, director and teacher of theatre. I love teaching and I love theatre. I have worked professionally for theatres around the country and most recently have worked at the Barter Theatre in Abington, VA. I also have a one-man play, "Co. Aytch: Memoirs of a Confederate Soldier," about a Civil War Soldier, Sam Watkins, that I have toured around the country since 1986. Most recently, I was honored to play the small role of Lieutenant Washington in the independent film, FREEDOM written and directed by Rick McVey. Caitlin and I are avid Steeler Fans and belong to the Johnson City Steel City Mafia. You can find us when the Steelers play at FANATICS in Johnson City supporting the black and gold. We are also progressives doing much work for the Democratic party. I have a MFA from UNC-Greensboro majoring in Acting and Directing. I am also a graduate from Western Carolina University. I went to high school in Henderson, NC and was in the last graduating class of Henderson High School. After my BS degree at Western Carolina, I studied Acting for one year at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC.Pirate!
