I grew up in New Hampshire and have been involved in the arts from a young age, starting with clarinet in elementary school and continuing through choir, band, and a cappella in high school. That early interest eventually led me to Plymouth State University, where I earned degrees in Vocal Performance & Pedagogy and Theater Design & Technology.

After graduating, I worked in New York City as a theater rigging fabricator before moving into academic production environments. I served as Scene Shop Supervisor at James Madison University and later at DePaul University, continuing to develop my experience in scenic construction and production management.

At the same time, I spent summers at Glimmerglass Festival in a range of technical roles, eventually becoming Technical Director from 2012–2014. During that period, I also completed my graduate degree in Technical Direction at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

In 2014, I moved to Phillips Academy Andover as Technical Director, and in 2018 took on the same role at Phillips Exeter Academy, where I currently work. My focus is on designing and building productions while training students to take part in that process in a meaningful, hands-on way.

Outside of the theater, my interest in building extends into design-build projects, including timber frame structures around New Hampshire. I live in Exeter, NH with my wife and daughter and spend as much time as possible outdoors.
