Has directed many summer seasons at various places like Surflight, and in Connecticut. People who worked under his direction have said "...he was our first director that year, fabulous, we judged every director we worked with against his standard for the rest of the year. No one else matched that standard." or "...wonderfully warm and innovative to work with...." Had also done many industrials, and "a few forgettable commercials."
