Hurricane Harvey Resources

UTA is here to assist anyone in the Maverick community who has been affected by Hurricane Harvey. Visit the Hurricane Harvey Resources page for a list of information and contact details that answer the top questions we’ve received from our students, faculty, and staff.

The actor, director, writer, and producer graduated from UTA in 1985 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre arts.
