Vic has been involved in almost every aspect of the theatre for the last 20 years. As early as Jr. high and high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, Vic was an actor, director, set, and lighting designer.

Southern Utah University was Vic’s next stop. While attending SUU Vic acted in over 30 plays, with both the Utah Shakespeare Festival and the university. He directed 4 main stage productions and co-founded Stage 2 Productions, a student production company. Vic received his BFA from SUU in 1997 with an emphasis in acting and directing. He continued his education at Florida State University Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training in Sarasota, where he was trained by some of the country’s best acting teachers such as Jose Quintero and Jim Wise. Vic also trained in London through an exchange program supported by FSU, studying with members of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Theatre Complicite. He was issued his MFA From FSU A solo Conservatory in 2000.

Immediately following graduation, Vic went to teach and direct at Perry Mansfield School and Performing Arts Camp in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In 2001, he returned to Southern Utah University to teach Acting 1 & 2 and Introduction to Theatre. 2001 was also the year Vic came to call Albuquerque home. Not wasting any time getting involved in the local community theatre scene, Vic acted, directed, designed, and ultimately became President of the board of directors at the Vortex Theatre. Vic remained with the Vortex until 2004 when he was offered a position at Fusion Theatre Company as Company Manager, and a member of the acting ensemble. He was also the project manager for Zygote Pro Creations (a local production company) and facility director for the Cell Theatre.

Currently, Vic is running his own massage therapy business. He is a respected acting coach to local actors, and in demand as a performer in the state’s growing film industry. His main area of focus is the newest professional theatre in New Mexico, Mother Road Theatre Company, of which he is a founding member. Vic has memberships in Actors Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild and has high hopes for the performing arts in New Mexico.
