  • 1963 - 1980

  My father was a bricklayer and a contractor. I began carrying brick and mixing mortar for my dad the summer I turned 11. At the time I thought he was making a man of me. When I became a father I realized it had been his version of day care. When I got my drivers license at 16 he made me a foreman responsible for securing permits and getting the men and material to the jobsites. Off and on through college and whenever I was between acting gigs in the '70's I would run jobs for him. It was there I learned "we don't go home until the job is done". I learned my work ethic there and in the theatre. He was my model as an entrepreneur. Show less
