*Warrior. This is a photo of Jean-Michel Basquiat's painting from the exhibit at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris in 2018.
I've been training in stage combat since 2006 and choreographing/directing in small to mid-level theatres since 2012. I was named a finalist in local award nominations for Outstanding Fight Direction in 2019, and I've had fights reviewed as a highlight of a play in 2022 and 2025.
Fight work is a gift. It's an opportunity for me to stretch myself, to play, to problem solve, to connect, to create, to watch people grow, and to enhance a story by telling a little, violent, sometimes funny, story within a story -- and, I'm so very grateful that I get to do it!
