Yes, I danced with Ms. Rogers at a wrap party of a Musical I Stage Managed in Indianapolis. And, Beverly Sills sang Happy Birthday to me one year! I toured with NYCity Opera, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Sarah Brightman. I even spent time in the Kitchen (studio) with Martha Stewart and once shared a few laughs with George Clooney!
In my lifetime of work in Theatre, Opera & TV, I have had the good fortune to meet James Earl Jones, Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder and even Big Bird! This career took me behind the scenes and around the world. Helping to Stage the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was one highlight I’ll never forget! I look back and wonder how a kid from the Midwest ever got this far!
A later Chapter in my life led me to obtain a degree in Nursing! My natural empathy and concern for our Fellow Humans allowed me to provide Care when it was needed, or just a Caring Touch...
It could be said, that after a lifetime of helping to create moments of Wonder, Laughter & Joy, it all brought me to “Being Santa”. I now have the Honor & Privilege of making some of that Magic a Reality for so many.
