Name:
Location: Batesville, Arkansas, United States

Trained as a painter and set designer, I've worked in liberal arts environments for all of my adult life. I'm content with my 27 year marriage to a sweet woman (who's a genius as a cook.) I am the proud father of a 21 year old son who's double majoring in Russian and English at the University of the South. My mother arrived in the US in 1948 to marry my father who'd been a GI in the occupation following World War II. I closely relate to issues concerning diversity, which I define more broadly than a matter of race; any definition of diversity must include the full spectrum of what makes each of us individuals.

The Beggar's Opera





I work with a director who cannot sing, so musicals are rarely done at Lyon College. I love the musical theatre and find that it harkens back to the original roots of the art. The Beggar's Opera was a perfect match for the interests of a liberal arts college: as a historical piece, it reached across the disciplines and served the curricular needs of languages and literature, music, theatre, and history.
