Homage to God, from whom all my blessings arise,

My PCS on-stage debut has come to no surprise, 

A milestone now gone brings forth more to achieve, 

Thus will I switch gears post-Christmas Eve, 

And in mid-January I will return to the Twin Cities, 

My next role will see me as the lead in Wine in the Wilderness, 

A full circle season, 

As that play with PCS is what I joined the Union with, 

There will be some other credits here and there, 

When the time comes I will share, 

But let’s cross that bridge when we get there, 

I have some film & TV credits that you can find on IMdB, 

Just type in my name correctly, search, and find me, 

With this amazing cast Dracula is sure to be a hoot, 

So sit back, relax, and prepare to be spooked!
