I'm a dedicated actor with a passion for language, music, and new works. I moved to San Diego in 2020 after working in New York for 6 years, where I helped develop work at places like New Dramatists, New York Theatre Workshop, The Bushwick Starr, and the Tank. I studied classical acting at BADA in London and am currently developing a one-man show around Shakespeare's overlooked masterpiece King John.

Aside from acting, I'm also an accomplished musician, with over 20 years of experience with piano, guitar, bass, mandolin, and other instruments. I've written and performed music for several shows, most notably in the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's production of It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, in which I composed a full score and performed it nightly.

When I'm not acting, I help to produce podcasts. I work as an assistant on Sleep With Me, the sleep podcast that has been downloaded more than 70 million times. I also produce and act in Milky Way Underground, a fiction podcast for kids produced by TRAX from PRX.
