I’m a New York City based actor, writer, singer improviser, host, Dungeon Master (the nerd kind), gamer (the cool kind), baker, and passable ukulele player. A classic nonuple threat. (I had to Google what came after octuple)

When I was four years old, I decided I was going to be an actor and have stubbornly held onto that declaration ever since. This, like so many pre-elementary school decisions, was based on my brothers. Both of them were much older, which of course meant much cooler, and they were both in a production of King Lear with a local Shakespeare in the park company. I got to see it under the condition that I did not yell out to my brothers when they were on stage (I broke this rule several times) and sometime around Cordelia’s first “nothing” I was hooked. I had to act. To be honest, four-year-old me might have just seen an exciting new resource for attention, or maybe he liked the costumes. I was too young to be fully cognizant of why I cared so much about theatre in that moment, and I can’t, in good conscious, claim that a preschooler was completely enraptured by King Lear, as much as I like it now. All I remember is that I was convinced I’d gotten the chance to see something magical

In the modern day, I’m a graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno and an alumni of the Florida Repertory Theatre professional acting internship. Now I’m taking improv and sketch classes with UCB in NYC and continuing to do all those things I listed earlier. It’s pretty neat! Storytelling and comedy are, I solemnly believe, some of our greatest forms of empathy, and I could not be more grateful to take part in those traditions everyday.
