AMDA (American Musical & Dramatic Academy)
I began my teaching career as the creator of  the Stage Combat  Division at AMDA, where I continued for 11 years.  What began as a 2-week, substitute teaching gig eventually turned into a four-semester, advanced program within the acting division.   I regularly taught 55 to 80 classroom hours per week in a tri-semester program  (how did I do that?!)  Great years with my two excellent teaching partners (my "work wives") and friends, Gregg Rochman and Tim Brown.  I also met my real wife, Carole, at AMDA!  Always great to see the numerous successes my many students from AMDA acrue.  

Other NYC Schools
My time in NYC (17 years) included many adjunct, part-time and substitute positions.  I also taught private classes in acting and stage combat.  The list of schools where I taught acting, movement, and stage combat in the Big Apple include: 
  • The Juilliard School
  • Marymount Manhattan College
  • Brooklyn College
  • Wagner College
  • Playwrights Horizons 
  • Lee Strasburg Theatre Institute 
  • Mannes College of Music
  • The Mint Theatre
