Hi, and thanks for visiting my site!

I started performing at 15 with Lighten Up Improv Co. in Kansas City, Missouri.  I was at a show with some friends from high school and thought, "I can do that."  Two weeks, an audition, and an improv intensive later I was on stage and hooked.  Columbia College Chicago followed, along with classes at Second City and Improv Olympic.  I got more and more into theatre, and less into improv.   I wanted to be the best actor I could be - and as much as I loved making people laugh, knew that I needed more training.

I crashed the audition for Alabama Shakespeare Festival's professional actor training program - and got in.  I got paid to go to school, received a Master's degree, my equity card, and met the love of my life, Liz.   After grad school I grew a beard and backpacked through Italy and Chile.  It was life changing and awesome - I was able to go to the places Shakespeare wrote about, and see Pablo Neruda's house on the other side of the Atlantic.  The next adventure was NYC. W
e lived in Queens. Gigs came and went. New York was great - and filled with highs and lows and friends and inspiration and hustle -and we loved it.  We still do, and NYC may be in the future.

Last year we relocated to Atlanta.  Liz is on her way to becoming a Nurse-Midwife while I  ply my trade here - and am working like crazy.  In 2009 I shot a co-star role in a pilot for ABC, 
a tv movie, two commercials for the Georgia Lottery, and performed in three plays-the last being at my favorite place to be onstage - the Actors Theatre of Louisville.  I'm excited about 2010 and can't wait for more chances to work with talented people, go hiking with my wife and dog, and enjoy a cigar on my porch.
