Prior to these assignments he produced and directed productions at Walt Disney World, including the nighttime spectacle "SpectroMagic", and managed the conceptual development of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "EQ" and "Noah's Ark." Prior to Disney, Don had a wide range of entertainment venues and assignments including directing or producing roles for: theme parks such as Universal Studios and Busch Gardens; Special Events including Superbowl Half-time Presentations and the 1984 World's Fair's 5,000 seat amphitheater; Theatrical Projects on the west coast including Los Angeles' Ensemble Studio Theater/LA and George Schaefer's Musical Theater/LA produced in association with U.C.L.A at the Doolittle Theater, and independent productions at the Roxy and Canon Theaters.

He received an MFA in Theater Management from UCLA where he was later accepted onto the faculty of the Department of Theater, Film and Television. For Hyperion Press he authored the book "A Celebration of the Broadway Musical, Beauty and the Beast." In 1980 Don re-discovered and constructed models of the lost secret of China's 'South Pointing Chariot.' The model, accepted by the Museum of the Province of Xian, effectively re-wrote a small chapter in the history of Chinese mechanical engineering.

In 1993, 1995 and 1996 Don broke the Guinness Record for the World's Largest Maze and developed a new, outdoor, family game called The Amazing Maize Maze®. The result was the founding of the American Maze Company which has built 30 such projects in 8 different states, entertained over one million players, and instigated a maze fad which has found root around the world. Don regularly gives seminars on teamwork to corporate clients based on his observations at the maze.
