I went to study mime in 1975.  After working with my teacher for the summer, I was looking for employment for the winter.  The board of Camp Chanco offered me the job as caretaker, and then my teacher chose me to be his apprentice.  The path had forked and I had to choose.

I went on to continue my mime studies and eventually founded the TOUCH Mime 

Theater.  We travelled the country from 1976 through 1993, performing for peope all

over the U.S..  Upon putting the mime troupe to bed, I was asked by the Durham Bulls 

Baseball Club to create their mascot, Wool E. Bull, which I did and continued to 

perform as Wool E. until 1997.  

Since then, I've been a solo performer, with my focus being performing at fairs and 

festivals.  That's what I still do, as well as sharing my work as an artist in education

at schools and universities throughout the South.

The lessons I learned at Chanco from Charlie and the rest of the staff:  that love is the stongest provider; that working

together is the most fun; that all contributions are to be honored; and that everyone is entitled to their own unique way of thinking have helped me throughout

 the rest of my wanderings.  Nous Sommes du Soleil!
