He has performed on the Globe Theatre stage in London, and has acted and directed at numerous regional theatres across the country, including McCarter Theatre, the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, Stage/West and TheatreVirgina, where he served for 13 seasons and still ranks as the most successful Artistic Director in that theatre's 50-year history. For four years he was Artistic Director at Porthouse Theatre here in Northeast Ohio, presiding over record-breaking seasons that garnered significant critical praise as well.

He is a member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers (SSDC) and Actors' Equity Association (AEA).
