He worked in the British repertory theatre system and in London’s West End as a production manager where he met Brian Croft and later Patrick Stansfield who lured him into concert touring. He did tours with The Stones, Elton John, Diana Ross, Neil Diamond and Bob Dylan in Europe. In 1983 he co-founded TMB which became a leading multinational supplier of production equipment. He retired in 2014 and is a freelance writer and photographer for PLSN, Stage Directions, ETC Inc and a couple of fly fishing magazines. He is the co-producer of the Parnelli Awards show and is not afraid to say he loves musicals and fly fishing.
