Hey, so I wanted to share a little about myself.  I’m a Brooklyn based actor originally from south central Kentucky - from this mid-size town called Bowling Green. I attended The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) where I received a BFA in Acting.

My time at CCM curated this uncompromising demand for theatrical excellence. It helped me articulate the kind of actor I wanted to be. Additionally, my training with Anne Bogart/SITI Company and Chicago’s School at Steppenwolf has strongly influenced my approach to the work. 

What can I say about New York? I love living here. It’s intoxicating, chaotic, dreamlike, and at its worst, obnoxious as hell. Since living in New York I’ve been fortunate to have devised work with Fringe and Fur Company,  New Wave Theatre Collective, #theatrecompany, AMIOS and The Hearth.  I was filmed eating Popeyes chicken in Louisiana and being a frat dude doing fratty things in a subversive college comedy - to name a few projects.

I’ve done silly things in New York like work as a Park Ranger at The High Line and lead literary pub crawls in the Village - needless to say, I possess quite a few fun facts about urban renewal and Dylan Thomas. 

I love movies. I love plays. I love riding my bike to record stores.  My artistic taste is always evolving; my efforts to keep growing as an artist are constant.  

Cheers to the adventure ahead.
