He often offered to let me sit in on his classes - whenever I lamented about missing school, or wanting to learn more about the theatre. Because of my work schedule, I never got to take him up on those offers, and I think I'll always regret that. We met when he taught my Languages of the Stage class at USF. I had very few experiences with theatre by that time, and I can definitely thank him for creating a strong base for me. He got my foot in the door for production photography, and was such a cheerleader. He was funny, smart, and genuinely just a nice man. I'll miss him.
