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.

Stage works: Fen by Caryl Churchill
















A British play concerning the search for identity among contemporary "serfs" chained to land owned by multinational agribusiness. The piece was chosen because of the parallels that could be drawn with oppressed workers in the fertile rice fields of the Arkansas delta.
