Relationship to Puppetry

Puppeteer of "Hand and Rod" puppets, some puppet building, worked with Disney in their Drug Prevention puppet troupe "The Disney Crew".

What First Got Me Interested in Puppetry

Sesame Street and The Muppets were my first real introduction to puppets and first got me interested.

My Puppetry (or Puppet) Hero

Jim Henson was my biggest inspiration, although I also enjoy Edgar Bergen, Jeff Dunham, Rick Lyon, John Tartaglia, and Frank Oz.

If I Were a Puppet, I'd Be...

Dr. Spryte (my personal puppet) after all he is my alter ego already.

More About Me:

I am a single father of 2 daughters.
Recently moved back to my home town after living the past 23 years in Florida.
Currently looking for a new church and hopefully one either with a puppet ministry, or willing to consider starting a puppet ministry.
