Captain of the Guards
“This character is Lord Farquaad’s main enforcer, and at face value, he’s a mean guy. But this is musical comedy, so he’s kind of a nice funny bad guy.”
How I spend my days: I am active in my church, St. Ambrose of Woodbury, and try to stay healthy playing golf and making regular trips to the gym. I enjoy stock trading. Mostly, I love being on stage.
My most enjoyable past theater role: There are two: Snoopy and the Scarecrow. I’ve played Snoopy at least four times. Snoopy is everyman. He can be anyone, do anything. When things don’t go well, he just moves on. What a role model. Then there is Scarecrow which I’ve played a couple of times, the best experience being on the Woodbury Community Theatre stage. Scarecrow would lay down his life for a friend. He reminds me of an important theater trait: give and work hard to make your fellow actors look good, and if they do the same, that whole show is better.
One word to describe myself: Actor.
A surprising thing about me: One summer years ago, I raced go karts. I have also had a long love and interest in cars, and have bought/traded as many as five in a calendar year.
What I do for fun: I do theater, some years as many as 7 or 8 productions. It’s a blast.
Volunteer activities: I volunteer at St. Ambrose of Woodbury most every Saturday, Easter, Christmas and on feast days. God has been good to me and it makes me feel good, and it also keeps me close to my mom and dad, who watch my shows from the fly space (heaven).
