FEBRUARY 24 • 2022 | 45
for a couple of
years, Bernard
returned to the
university setting
to earn a master’s
degree and then
continued at
General Motors
for a career that
evolved over 36
years.
In his pres-
ent assignment,
Bernard makes
sure his firm is kept aware of
what is being done by compet-
itors.
“
At work, I do a lot of presen-
tations and videos for internal
use,” Bernard said. “[Because
of my work in theater], I don’t
have any reservations about
speaking in front of large
groups. I am the writer-
presenter, and General Motors
has video experts in house to
film me and do backgrounds
[that include] music.”
Bernard, who drives a
Chevrolet Camaro convertible,
collects antique cars, a hobby he
shares with husband, Richard
Kwiecien, a retired nurse.
Bernard owns a classic Buick
Riviera and a Mini Cooper and
belongs to a club of car enthu-
siasts who travel
to vehicle exhibits
and participate in
the annual Dream
Cruise.
“The first show
I auditioned for at
Stagecrafters was
George M! which is
all about [composer
and entertainer]
George M. Cohan,”
Bernard recalled. “I
got in and started
taking tap classes because there
was a lot of tap in the show. I’ve
taken about four years’ worth of
tap classes.”
Bernard, who had his bar
mitzvah in New Jersey, realized
he retained his Jewish-study
skills when his niece asked him
to participate in her bat mitzvah
four years ago. Defining himself
as culturally Jewish, he was glad
he could still read Hebrew.
“
A lot of people view engi-
neers as being very left-brained
and structured,” Bernard said
about reactions to his core
career and his belief that doing
musical shows makes him
appear more creative — with a
plus. “If I do a show with a lot
of dancing, I get a nice work-
out.”
