He graduated from Ricks College, BYU-Provo, and obtained his master's degree from Idaho State University. He primarily teaches acting, directing, and theatre methods for education majors, but also directs mainstage productions. He and his wife, Heidi, own and operate The Playmill Theatre in West Yellowstone, Montana, during the summer months where they direct, act, and make popcorn. They are the parents of four very talented children who together with their spouses have all participated in the theatre both on stage and off.
