Curriculum Vitae
A working life that has been called teaching, performing, building, and going to school. In my house, going to play is going to work, going to school sounds like fun, and the punchline is that it has all been work this whole time.
Right Now
A typical week, in five rooms.
On any given day, I am running a studio, building communications systems for a defense practice, going to school in two directions, and getting ready for the next live show. Some weeks all five rooms light up at once. Most weeks they take turns.

Going to play is going to work. Going to school sounds like fun. The trick is that all of it has been work, and all of it has been play, and somehow it has held.
A Working Principle
Education
Going to school, in chapters.
My family has always treated school the way other families treat vacation. We light up. We come home with stories. We are still going.
