New Orleans Center for Creative Arts - Louisiana's Arts Conservatory - http://nocca.com/
This high school for pre-professional artists in New Orleans is nothing short of world-class. From dance to creative writing to culinary arts -- and of course Entertainment Production & Design -- if you've got the ambition, commitment and talent, there's a place and a course of study for you here. And there's no cost to attend. This institution has set the national standard for arts education at the high school level for 50 years and continues to change and enrich lives every day. (Oh, and I'm an alum, past chairman of The NOCCA Foundation, and current board chair of the school.)
Describe your career journey in a few words.
I modeled for Saks Fifth Avenue as a child, and they didn't ask me back after my 4-year-old season. I was crushed. So I found my way backstage, first as a lighting designer and later theatre producer. I do miss the magic of the theatre, but it wasn't the path for me. I was #madeforthis.

What's one achievement throughout your whole career that you're most proud of?
The lasting friendships I've made throughout my 30-year career are what I'm most proud of. Being good at what you do isn't enough in our industry, you also have to have a reputation for being honest and trustworthy...and fun!

I love to travel, whether for work or play, especially when I have the opportunity to interact with locals. Laying on a random beach is not my style.
I also enjoy golf, cooking/baking and entertaining friends and family.
