To start conversations in their own homes, with their own loved ones and friends which I hope someday will make the subject of mental illness a little more palatable.

WHAT’S YOUR DREAM ROLE TO BE CAST? Dan Goodman.
WHO IS YOUR HERO? BIGGEST INSPIRATION?  I’m surrounded by inspiration; I have amazing family, friends, and loved ones. I look up to all of them.
WHERE ARE YOU IN TEN YEARS? In 10 years- I’ll be here in Denver with my lovely Rebecca, raising my lovely daughter, petting puppies, still making whatever art I can.
CAN WE FOLLOW YOU? FB? TWITTER? Facebook…
WHY SEE NEXT TO NORMAL? Next To Normal is a true piece of art, using story, visuals, and music to challenge the heart, the mind, and the higher intellect by making the viewers (and the performers) really think and question and forcing them to tap into their own emotional lives. Audiences should enjoy art, but it has to occasionally challenge them the way this show does in order to be truly life-changing. That’s why you see this show- it reminds everyone that they’re human beings, and that that is a wonderful truth.
