Since 1988 I’ve worked in the technical aspects of European Theater, honing my skills and eye for design. From 1998 until 2018, in New York, and from 2018, until the present in Philadelphia, I’ve accomplished the portfolio of fine woodworking and interior renovation you see on my website.

Theater
Between 1988 and 1991 I worked as a stagehand and carpenter at the Opera House in Mannheim, Germany, leaving to become the assistant technical director for William Forsythe’s Frankfurt Ballet. Promoted to technical director, I toured the world during the 1990’s. Though moved permanently to New York, I’ve been regularly recruited to theatre work in Germany over the past 20 years working during many summers as Technical Director and Project Manager for Peter Brook, Peter Sellars, Robert Wilson and others.
