Attended all board meetings and collaborated on all board level decision making.

Assisted and co-taught classes in acting technique to non fine art majors through the Theatre Dept, co-taught basic acting to Communications Majors with Leila Saad until asked by the great Mel Howard, Head of the Film School, to develop a class for Directors in the film program to study how to direct actors in the film rehearsal process. This class was co-taught with me by Mel Howard at the time, partly because it was attended by the famous Steve Sohmer former Executive VP of NBC Entertainment and former COO of Columbia Pictures who wanted to participate as a student.

Generated all start up business infrastructure including governmental framework connections, created all educational content and frameworks for delivery and assessment. Generated and monitored all student and teacher quality control systems. Designed, implemented and montitored all initial marketing and development for the education business. Negotiated links with Universities for credit transfer agreements, industry bodies. Oversaw the creation of all delivery facilities inc. development of film production facilities and innovated our step toward the cutting edge teaching of 3d Film culture elements.

Built it from scratch, from first conception (entirely my own idea after having trained in the USA with the founder of the Society of American Fight Directors David Boushey) to realisation as a national organisation to monitor the teaching of live theatre combat skills to actors, teachers and choreographers until I handed over the inaugural presidents post, as an exiting life time member, to the first of the next generation collaborators, Scott Witt, to carry it on.

Studied Shakespeare Performance - Acting

Studied Directing. I was the first student who was allowed to split my major between the Film and Theatre School on an agreement between both. Tragically however the film school candidate who I was 'trading' with for the experiment died in a motorcycle accident before he could complete. I was allowed to continue in my film studies parallel to my theatre Directing studies but we were all very affected by his tragic loss. Life is short - make it worth something.
