Hey there, hero! My grandfather was a funny, smart cookie. He wasn't a performer, rather my grandfather was a plumber.

Hey there, hero! We may not have control over what happens to us in life. Sometimes, it's our doing. Sometimes, life happens with no input from us.

And I'm telling you, your choices on how to react are far more numerous than…

Hey there, hero! I feel like I'm a weird artist. When I'm designing a performance, I work toward something that I can rely on, in a character, in business, in life, and then, if I can, lathering, rinsing and repeating.
