OH, HEY! YOU'RE HERE… WELL, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
I'm a New York based actor, clown, VO performer, filmmaker, and screenwriter/playwright.
After graduating with a BFA in Acting at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, I've worked on Off-Off and Off Broadway productions, as well as around the country in film, regional theater, national tours, and clown shows.
Inspiration and influence
for the kind of work I enjoy range from the theater to the cinema: Bill Irwin, Robin Williams, John Ritter, Mark Rylance, Tom Hanks, Paul Rudd, and Eddie Izzard.
As a physical comedian,
Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin have played a vital role for me and have been the base for much of my work, not only as an actor, but also as a playwright.
My goal as an artist
has always been to embrace the range in character types I portray on both the stage and screen, but a colleague put it best by saying I tend to play "the outsider", whether comedically or dramatically. I quite like that and will gladly use it!
