As an Executive Director

I successfully navigated 5 seasons of financial and artistic excellence, operating with a yearly balanced budget of $950,000.  Managed a full time staff of 7 and kept track of a 15 member Board of Directors.  I have successful and proven fund raising skills including "one-to-one" asks, public appeals and as a skilled grant writer.  My background in leadership from the United States Air-Force, combined with my years of working in hospital and corporate settings has given me the skillsets needed to operate within and successfully communicate with large corporate institutions.  My years in professional non-profit theatre have also given me the language and communication skills to work collaboratively with a large cross-section of other job disciplines, including vendors, patrons, union representatives, actor's, director's, designer's and I am fluent in all dialects of stage hand.  I am a compassionate and empathetic leader who instills loyalty, support and faith by leading by example. I embraced the principals of diversity, equity and inclusion years ago as even then, it was an obvious wya to bring out the best in individuals and for the health of an organizations.
