Where he is now: I'm the media specialist at Newnan Crossing Elementary School in my hometown of Newnan, GA. For over 20 years I was the artistic director of the Newnan Community Theatre Company. (Check out this link to see what the group did during my tenure.) I retired from that in 2002 to pursue my interest in composition. My final production was Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, which I translated. During the summer months, I am the assistant director of the Georgia Governor's Honors Program, where I teach a series of PD seminars to delighted gifted teens. I'm married to Ginny Henninger, and we have one son, Grayson. Ginny is vice president of human resources/public relations at Newnan Hospital.

His favorite PDG memory: My favorite Period Dance memory would embarrass Cindie Bolkcom, so I’ll say it was the time the bus broke down coming back from Gainesville and we spent a halcyon late afternoon by the lake waiting for another UGA bus to come pick us up. Also, being in the television studio over in Journalism, doing some feature for somebody, waltzing to Roses of the South and singing, "Teeny-tiny tape dots" as we hit our mark.
