I am grateful for the experiences I had growing up here, attending school, playing sports, and participating in community service activities.

Before becoming the Founder and Artistic Director of KNOW Theatre, I was an engineer who lived in Scranton, commuting to Binghamton each day to subcontract for IBM. Even back then, I knew there…
