I taught basic technical theater skills and designed scenery, lights and sound for six years at Clackamas Community College.

While I was there, the Director of the program was promoted to division chair and his position was filled by a series of temporary instructors and directors.

From 1990-1996 I worked with four different directors, managing student workers and paid contractors to produce 18 mainstage shows.

During the time I taught at Clackamas, I was a full time student as well. I attended classes at Clackamas and then Portland State University. I received my Associates Degree from Clackamas and my Bachelors from Portland State.
