What you love about the ACU Theatre Department:

I feel so blessed to be a part of a department that produces professional-level theatre and maintains a close, familial relationship between faculty and students. I never feel pigeon-holed into one departmental role or another. If I want to explore dramaturgy, or stage management, or lighting design, our faculty are more than eager to guide those who want to explore the wide spectrum of opportunities available within the profession. As the students approach graduation, the faculty endeavors to connect us with job opportunities and graduate school programs, while training us for the auditions and interviews that will take us to the next step in our career.

Other activities: Abilene Shakespeare Festival, working in the Theatre Department office, reading plays, spending time with his beautiful wife.
