I'm an actor/singer originally from Long Island, NY, now living in NYC, who has been performing regionally and on tour since 2012. What started as a way to stay close to my late grandpa, Otto (an avid community theatre performer), performing has become my dream and career.

​

Between attending St Joseph's College for Marketing (gotta have a background) and Theatre, I studied at the New York Film Academy, Gateway Acting School, trained in improv with the Upright Citizens Brigade, and have worked (and still do) with private coaches and tutors. 

​

Meanwhile, I worked for three years at Theatre Three Productions as a member of their repertory company, toured for five years with How The Grinch Stole Christmas! national tour, worked regionally at some great places like the Broadway Palm, the American Theatre Group, Patchogue Theatre, Argyle Theatre, Theatre By The Sea, John W. Engeman Theater, and performed with some amazing fellow actors & directors (including Tony Award winners and nominees like Alice Ripley, Constantine Maroulis, Hunter Foster, and Brian MacDevitt). I'm also making my way through the film and television world on my journey through the industry, 

 

When I'm not performing, you can find me reading (plays, biographies, whatcha got?), drawing, hanging with my wife, Amanda, coaching others in their theatrical endeavors, and watching Monty Python sketches, Doctor Who and Parks and Rec seasons on repeat.

​

I love what I do, and I'm far from done.
