As Director of Operations at ABcreative, I draw on 27 years of leadership experience, including 17 as VP of Operations at Warren Theatres, to streamline project management and ensure smooth playground installations for our customers. A Kansas native, I enjoy sporting events, fishing, golf, and spending time with my wife, three kids, and our four dogs.

With a background in theatrical design and over a decade of experience creating scenery and experiences for theaters, theme parks, and events across the country, I bring a unique perspective to play spaces that inspire children of all ages and abilities. A graduate of Webster University’s Conservatory of Theatre Arts, I enjoy bringing clarity and cohesion to each project from concept to completion.
