    Before getting into the Travel Director/Guide industry, I taught State Design and Technical Theater at the graduate level.Designed 13 repertory stage productions in a two-year period while teaching stage design and technical theater at Wayne State University. Then I moved into designing, producing, and building backgrounds for national commercials TV commercials for the auto industry, banks, and utility companies. Intermittently I was asked to design backgrounds for very large corporate trade shows: Examples: Artistic director, design and production work for Digital Equipment Corporation's mammoth international DECworlds held at Boston's World Trade Center. Also, Polaroid hired me to design sets. and costumes, and lighting for Polaroid's National and Regional PMA trade shows & events projects around the country and at their headquarters.Taking control of any assignment is something I enjoy. My organization skills and computer expertise as an avid Apple Mac user helps to keep everything organized for my assignments.My MOTTO: "Analyze, Organize, and Supervise".
