During my college days,(Late 1960s') I worked with a classmate making a great many hours of "Job Core" Training Tapes for the Government under contract to the University of Pittsburgh. The format was a dialogue between two young guys, one smart, one not so smart. The less smart guy complains about the trouble he was having with some project. Then the smart guy would explain what to do. I played the dumber guy. While working for Studio Arena in Buffalo New York, I played off stage, as a Carnival Barker in "Other Voices, Other Rooms", an original play written by Truman Capote. More recently I performed the voices of Dwight Eisenhower and Martin Kitzmiller (German Accent) the plaintiff in a ground breaking court case, in a local documentary, "Adams County, the Story of the Land". Recently I performed the introductory and climactic narrations for "The Big Deal". A film broadcast to classrooms nationwide, by the National Park Service. I have a professional work ethic: arrive before the "call" time, ready to work and willing to do whatever is needed, to provided my client with the product they desire. Pittsburgh Playhouse School of Theatre/Point Park College. Harrisburg Area Community College/Gettysburg School District extension classes in Speech Writing and Public Speaking, Presentation and Computers. Voice Over Seminar presented by "Andy" award winning V.O. actor, Leonard Dozier. Mr. Dozier Toshiba continues to advise me regarding my career. "Rode" Broadcast Quality USB Microphone. Toshiba Laptop w/Updated "Audacity" So far I can do basic editing. When necessary, I have access to a professional studio. In stage work, I have played roles ranging from the benevolent Grandpa in "You can't Take It With You" to the psychotic Willie in "Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar and Grill" and to the beleaguered, passive aggressive George, in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf". I am NRA Certified in "Pistol" and "Personal Protection in the Home" instruction. In the summer of 2011, I had my first play, “I Know Things" produced. I am skilled in Locksmithing, Stage Carpentry and Electrical work. I could easily narrate pieces about these occupations as well as the tools used. In 2002, I joined with two friends experienced in theater, to form the "Gettysburg Stage Ensemble Theatre". In 12 years, we have produced almost 3 dozen plays.
