He has assumed many roles: stagehand, technical director, stage manager, production manager, lecturer, consultant, administrator, and producer, with side trips into television versioning, film production and exhibition. He has toured productions in Europe and across North America, and has worked for the Stratford, Shaw, and Charlottetown Festivals, the Grand Theatre in London and the Toronto International Film Festival Group, among others. He has been a board member at Stratford and the Tarragon Theatre. He earned an M.F.A. at the Yale School of Drama, a B.A. at the University of Saskatchewan, and the Certificate in Human Resources at Ryerson University.
