After earning a bachelors degree in fine arts and a master’s degree in spirituality from Holy Name College in Calif., he began performing the play in public in 2000 in New York where he received the Damien-Dutton Award from the Damien-Dutton Society.
He has since performed the play in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California and Texas.
