- More about you: (Short Bio or any other details you'd like people to know)
- I first discovered the usefulness of Improv when I was on-stage in a local production of ‘The Rivals’ and my fellow actor completely forgot what he was supposed to say and do (“Goodbye” and leave).
I refined some of those skills working with the Murder We Wrote Murder Mystery group in the UK before heading west to the USA in ’99.
I did further refining work studying at the Conservatory of the Second City Training Centre, ComedySportz University and Improv Olympic training centre in Chicago.
I work as a corporate technical trainer and every time I go in front of a class full of programmers I offer thanks for my ability to ‘make it up as I go along’. I am a practitioner of Accelerated Learning methods and have a passion for quality training
I am also honored to serve in the leadership of this wondrous network as Board Secretary.

I have a connection with the guy who started it and it strikes me that: 1) he might make a great speaker for AIN Chicago, and 2) the store might be a great field trip. What do you think?
I guess I'm in the same boat as you. I'm looking for ways to get started in the Applied Improv Field. I, on the other hand have a ton of artistic experience and am trying to build my biz experience. I would love to grab a beer or a coffee and meet up with you some time. I am very new to this thing. Right now, I am trying to put a package together for physicians at Northwestern and some workshops for our Employee Engangement Comittee. Would you like to offer some of your experience and expertise to these projects?
