Welcome!  As a recent college grad, I think this website is going to be the most effective way for me to keep in touch with family, friends, and colleagues as I leave home and travel over next few years. 'Home' is becoming an increasingly abstract concept these days. Recently, I've lived in Michigan, Maryland, Washington D.C., and St. Louis--and as of September 3, 2007, I'm living in Nicaragua for two years. A very wise mentor once said to me that the joy (and burden) of living in so many places is that you learn to make your 'home' wherever you go--and you are never able to fully leave any single 'home' behind. A piece of you always remains, vitally present, while you simultaneously carry an awareness of all your former 'homes' to each new one. This website is an attempt to make that awareness more tangible. I intend to keep everyone informed about my adventures in Nicaragua, and life in general in my Blog, which also offers a place for you, my friends, to post responses. For major announcements/upcoming performances, see the News section. I've also included a page explaining why I am Working in Nicaragua. Many people have asked me what I'm going to need while in Nicaragua, and the truth is, I don't really know yet. As I figure it out, I'll add items to my Nicaragua Wish List, and will include information about where/how to send donations. Financial support is always greatly needed and appreciated. But more than anything else, I ask for your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement. I am so lucky to have so much support for this trip from friends and family, and I am abundantly grateful for whatever you are able to give. I've also posted a couple of Photo Albums: One of my first trip to Central America, and another with pictures from my past few summers at the MUNY. For business purposes, I've also included my Acting Resume, and I've posted some Audio Clips as well. More than anything, I'm hoping you'll take the time to write me once and a while as I travel, so I'll keep my information up-to-date in the Contact Information section.  Lastly, I've included a page of random Links on various topics--Theatre, Nicaragua, General Amusement--for your reading pleasure. Thank you for visiting, and please keep in touch!
