Actor | Singer | Director

I love to tell stories

I've been a story teller ever since I was a boy. With story we can take people and ourselves on any journey we can conjure up. This is why I act. I love diving into a new universe and learning about the people, places, and culture. This exciting journey lets the reality we know melt away and we can experience the excitement and joy of creating something completely new. Every moment is fresh and enlightening. I've spent my entire life working at this craft. Studying, embracing, learning, laughing, and illuminating. Every role helps me grow as a human and artist which is one of the many reasons I love to act. To be an artist is to be an emblem for humanity, to mirror the reality we see. We must be super human to act-that is to be super at being human. Whether it's film or theater I aspire to fully embody and live spontaneously and honestly through the characters I portray. This is my life's work and I never get tired of it.
