Take a look around, and feel free to reach out—I’d love to collaborate and bring your next creative vision to life!
My Story
My journey into the world of acting has been anything but ordinary. I was born in Peekskill, New York, and spent my early years in Putnam Valley before my family moved to Colorado when I was twelve. Growing up, I was always drawn to storytelling—the way it could transport you to another world or make you see your own in a completely new light.
My love for theater took root in high school and blossomed into a nearly quarter century career in professional theater. Along the way, I’ve worn many hats—actor, director, and even occasional playwright—each one enriching my craft and deepening my passion for the stage.
Life threw its curveballs, like stepping away to care for family, but those experiences only strengthened my resolve to pursue this path. Now, after completing my BFA at Colorado Mesa University, I feel more inspired than ever. Theater isn’t just my career; it’s my way of connecting with the world, one story at a time. Whether I’m exploring a classic script or tackling a modern piece, I’m always striving to create art that moves, challenges, and inspires.
