A love of the arts has never truly been separate from me. Since I was a little boy I was raised on classical movies and television. I dare say that British comedies and Jane Austen adaptations were more than a small part of my childhood. My first memory of telling stories  was when my brother and I would take our parents Sony Handyman camera and create parodies based on the popular character Sonic the Hedgehog. 

​

My first experience on stage was also joined by my brother. We performed in an elementary school adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk, where I played the mighty role of "DOG" and my brother...well my brother played the titular role of Jack (Believe me, I know). Between the creative things  I was doing on stage and in front of a home video camera I discovered a love for performing that wouldn't completely bloom until High School. A very enthusiastic theater department instructor who studied directly under Lee Strasberg had a lot to do with that (Kevin O'leary thank you for everything).

​

I have been very fortunate to have mentors who have educated me on the craftmanship and business side of pursuing a creative career. All of this eventually came together when I directed my first feature film called Suffocation. If it wasn't for my teachers and the people I surrounded myself with I am not sure this would have been possible and there is a very strong likelihood I would have quit. If there is one thing this event did, it was fan the flame of my love for storytelling as a whole. At this point it has become an obsession in the best way possible.

​

The excitement I feel about being on a film set or theater stage can only be described as an immense joy. I love being a part of telling another persons story. I love storytelling from pre-production to post I love the entire process. If you are someone who loves stories as much as I do and you have connected with my words and my story-let's talk and bring your next creation to life. I can't wait to hear from you!
