​Personal Note

I am what David Pollock* calls a “Third Culture Kid”: born in Hong Kong, raised in the Philippines, of a British father and an American mother.  I have had the privilege of living in a third world country for 18 years, traveling to 30 countries and living in 4 of them.   The myriad experiences emanating from this background continue to be woven into the fabric of who I am as a person and gives me much freedom to “enter into the skin” of the diverse characters I embody on stage. 

After extensive touring in Europe, I moved to Northern California in September 2010.

I moved to the Bay Area in August 2012 and am excited about the many forms of artistic service I am able to offer to this diverse community !
