He currently runs his own drama school in Walden, New York called the Hudson Valley Conservatory and wrote a short play "Radio Days" about the era when people listened to radio like they watch TV today. The play features different bits of music and excerpts from various musicals. But this play was mainly written as a didactic play for child actors. He also wrote a Shakespearian style play called "Love's Labor", a historical fiction play about Shakespeare's own life and how he began down his path of tragic works after losing his son Hamnet which was performed at the Hudson Valley Conservatory to rave reviews. His major projects currently involved teaching, directing and inspiring young performers in his Master Company, an audition only class at his Conservatory.
