I am an improviser who performs, teaches, coaches, and studies improv. I go to Improv Utopia Camp and VIF Camp with improvisers throughout the US.  I regularly travel to the improv meccas of Chicago and NYC for practice intensives with master teachers. When covid shut down in-person training and performances, I joined Zoom Improv across the globe, accessing master teachers and players. You can view my improv resume here.

In short, I love improv.

I want to share what I’ve learned and I delight in helping others grow on their improv journey. I’ve been a teacher of one sort or another for most of my life. Before I discovered improv I spent 20+ years as a social worker trying to help people reduce their pain. As an improv teacher and player, I want to spend the next 20+ years helping people increase their joy.

How did I get to this place? Improv makes me feel good. I’ve seen how it’s changed my approach to life and how it continues to change others in a positive direction. I’m not sure how all this happens exactly. For me, it’s part of allowing myself to be immersed in a creatively affirming process with other people. Improv lets me connect and ‘play’ with others as we create imaginary worlds. Improv is a unique social opportunity. Meeting people from different walks of life widens my horizons. It keeps me culturally current beyond my generation. Improv makes me ageless. What might it do for you?
