Big Bad Wolf, Pied Piper, Bishop

“This summer, I’m smearing on the contour and lacing up my tap shoes. Coincidentally, I did this show last summer and was the Pied Piper. I’m looking forward to shedding my house coat and tapping along with some rats.”

How I spend my days: At Park High School as a substitute teacher, theater director, choreographer and a speech coach. When school’s out, you can find me at the Dunn Bros in Hastings, slingin’ lattes through the drive thru.

My most enjoyable past theater role: Charlotte von Mahlsdorf (et al) in Doug Wright’s one-man show, I Am My Own Wife. Charlotte’s story is one of triumph, honesty and authenticity during a time of oppression, fear and conformity. It was an unforgettable honor to portray Charlotte as well as 31 other people who impacted her life in the play.

One word to describe myself: Spirited.

A surprising thing about me: I have danced onstage with Julianne Hough. My partner and I attended her Move Live tour at the State Theatre, and she invited me up to salsa with her.

What I do for fun: I love playing cribbage, reading plays, watching YouTube tutorials, coloring, spending time with my family and friends, and chugging iced white mochas. I’m also a die-hard RuPaul’s Drag Race and Dancing with the Stars fanatic.
