Biography:
When I finished at UT, I went out to California to work for Disney Entertainment Productions (they build and operate live entertainment for Disneyland). I started as a Stage Manager and worked my way up to Operations Manager, Stage Shows, Parades, and Spectaculars (fireworks) for the Disneyland Resort. I worked at Disney for 11 years, met my wife (Peggy) there and we now have 2 children Grace (5 yrs) and Stanley (3 yrs). I went Chapman University to get a Masters in Business Administration. I left Disney last summer to start my own company "Theater Management Tools LLC" and now spend my time developing software to help manage theatrical productions.
