Thanks for visiting. I left the world of academia back in 1977, realizing I was on the road to becoming something I had always disliked - a professor teaching about a business he had never participated in professionally. I moved to New York and plunged in to the world of theater there, spending the next 12 or so years actively engaged in the world of Broadway & off-Broadway, even managing some modern dance companies for a time. I was then drawn into the world of professional magicians, which I've enjoyed for the past 20 years. It has taken me around the world several times, and taught me more than all my schooling combined. As a result, today, I finally feel I have both valuable knowledge AND experience to share with today's peforming arts students, and I seek an outlet to do just that.
