A New Globe collaborates with middle school students to embrace the joy of creating performance art and discovering that there is no limit to what they can achieve. Each of us has a unique journey that holds so many possibilities, life lessons and, occasionally, some fun, too. Our talented students might never act in another show but we strive to make certain the experience has a positive impact they will cherish for years to come.

When he was working toward a theatre arts degree at the University of Oregon he directed, designed, and wrote original plays while managing a student theatre, teaching acting, and occasionally studying. In 2013 he partially retired so he could assist young adults discover their own gifts and become better people through creating new worlds on the stage.
