In what ways might you blend

two seemingly disparate or opposing fields

to benefit the other?

For my own part, an unexpected

synergy has resulted from

the surprising mix

of the corporate market and the arts.

The dynamic works in both directions.

My experience as a performing artist

has enabled me to bring insights

and value to the business sector

whether with sales, service, or

leadership teams around the globe.

And in turn,

my work in the business sector has

enabled me to support and contribute

to performing arts organizations.

One in particular had (and continues to have)

a profound influence on what I create.

The synergy has been

illuminating and fulfilling,

and most recently led to a special

moment I never expected.

On May 20, I was honored

with The Barrow Group Award.

It was a humbling experience.

The Barrow Group (TBG) is an exceptional

performing arts training,

education and production center

based in NYC.

In my experience, the quality of

TBG’s work goes beyond

much of what you might see on

Broadway…and for 1/10 the price.

Their work is not razzle-dazzle showmanship.

It’s much more subtle,

profoundly powerful and filled with

honesty, purity, and vulnerability.

And so to support the organization

in the ways I can is deeply meaningful.

Risk Forward & Rock On,

P.S. Arts and non-for-profit organizations need your support now more than ever.
