“I have devoted most of my professional career to the creative process as an artist, a performer, a teacher, a leader, an arts advocate, and an entrepreneur. My goal is to make it possible for everyone in my midst to have access to the arts so they might experience the life-enhancing benefits of the creative process. My objectives include: 1) advocating for career artists who make communities culturally rich and economically viable, attracting businesses and the creative class, and encouraging investment in the community; 2) using my entrepreneurial skills to create new opportunities for growing the arts industry, balancing earned income and philanthropy and building solid relationships with clients and donors; and 3) to collaboratively align myself and my clients with colleagues who are even more creative, intelligent and passionate than am I. These objectives have been the foundation upon which success in many endeavors has been achieved.”
