While his theater experience has only been with The New Conservatory Theater Center in San Francisco as a facilitator/actor for the AIDS youth aware program, he met Sherry Glaser at Dragon’s Theater in Gualala in 2024 by chance and forged the relationship that sparked her to write Life and Death; A Love Story.
