Acting
Acting has been a passion for a long time - though perhaps for atypical reasons. I began during high school and fell in love with it immediately. For me, the appeal of acting is its ability to function as a “philosophy lab” of sorts. You can’t play a character you don’t understand, and to truly embody a character, you have to look at the things they say and do in the script, and work to understand the mind that this behavior comes from. It’s a window through which one can the exploration the human psyche, delving into what makes people tick.
After high school, I studied acting at Syracuse University, then moved to NYC. I quickly amassed a list of credits both on stage and on screen, and broadened my skill set by studying performance combat, movement, and dialects. Check out my “about me” page for more details.
Storytelling is an important art form because of it’s ability to teach through proxy experience. I think that now more than ever, we need understanding and empathy, and both acting and the stories that are told with it serve to promote these qualities.

My Pitch
I’m the “resigned revolutionary” - passionate and full of conviction, with a streak of dark humor. I may know that the battle is a doomed endeavor, but I’ll crack a joke and fight anyway because it’s the right thing to do.
My characters are earnest, kind, and matter-of-fact without compromising their confidence; they know that when the situation demands it, they can hold their own.
My passions are Fantasy, History, and anything that lets me swing a sword. Think Heath Ledger in A Knights Tale crossed with Jim from The Office.
A few of my archetypes
The good-natured, unflinching Ranger who will lead you safely into Mordor.
The Eagle Scout turned eco-terrorist.
A Golden Retriever to friends and a Dobermann to foes.
