I’m grateful to have been chasing artistic dreams since the age of eight! It all started with a little class play in my hometown of Reno, Nevada. That experience propelled me towards a performance journey that has spanned over two decades thus far. I immediately went on to take the lead role in an original regional musical theater production. The resume grew and the work continued with various Northern Nevada theater troupes in musical productions such as Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and RENT. More “straight plays” included Art of Murder, Clue, and Ajax in Iraq.
After years on stage, I set my sights towards film and television, moving to Los Angeles to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. My time there brought cherished roles and shows, such as Javert in Les Miserables, Wilkie in A Soldier’s Play, and Putnam in The Crucible. A brief stint in stage combat and stunt training saw me participate in the viral sensation Deadpool: The Musical series
My most recent credits include Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, an incompetent hitman in the webseries Dog Park Adjacent, a dedicated naval officer in the short film Angel, and Hanschen in Spring Awakening. I’m represented by Park Artists Group. I also run my own pet sitting business! Thrilled to be a part of this theater series in the powerful, heartfelt selection “Final Request”. Connect with me on social media! Love making new friends and scouting hard working, talented collaborators.
