Why I serve.

I am a professor of Communication based in Las Vegas, with roots in Chicago and life experience including Wyoming and both Northern and Southern California. I have been a wire service reporter, a broadcast talk host, radio journalist, marketing and advertising agency owner, step father, political activist, writer and I am in my fourteenth year on the National Board of Directors of the Screen Actors Guild. For the past decade I have also been active in coaching actors of all ages, and for only a few years less, as the voice of Nevada Public Radio on Sunday mornings.

I am open to union freelance voice and acting work, as well as consulting in media, advertising, public relations, image and life style coaching.

I am not sure how this blog will evolve.

I have for the past ten years provided personal observations via e-mail for my wife and my students, covering news events, politics, personal observations on a wide range of topics and current events.

I serve on the New Media and Communication committees of the Screen Actors Guild, writing many briefs and observation for those groups. I am of co-chair of the Screen Actors Guild National New Technologies committee. Many other committees I have or am serving on can be found in my CV (resume for professors- Curriculum Vitae). You can find out more about be at: http://thebiz.variety.com/people/artlynch

I have been active in theater; film, commercials, industrials and convention work in many roles, from actor to director or producer to lowly PA (production assistant).

I have some knowledge and background in Chicago and Nevada history.

I live in Boulder City, a short drive over Railroad Pass from Henderson and Las Vegas. Our town is small in population but very large in geography, offering a buffer for our controlled population growth. We do not allow gambling, but do allow two full service bars, and wine or beer at most restaurants. I highly recommend the bar-restaurant “Evan’s Old Towne Grill” for a cost effective but excellent dinner if you go through town, and either “Mel’s” or the “Coffee Cup” for coffee, breakfast or lunch.

My wife Laura is a social worker, currently employed at the Boulder City Hospital. Our daughters are both grown, with Beth and her family relocated for economic reasons to Oklahoma, where her husband has a good job in management at the US Postal Serve. Our other daughter Ann lives in Las Vegas and runs the Internet business she started, http://www.writescienceright.com

Our home is a 700 plus foot original hand built home build in 1932 by workers from the Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) using lumber from concrete pouring. Lots of history, but uneven floors!

We have two dogs. Winston is a 9-year-old Irish wolfhound mix (we are not sure with what) who was Laura’s mom’s dog until she passed away. To keep him company we also adopted an Australian Cattle Dog named Mimi
