About Me
I am a Chicago actor who recently won Best Actor at the Midwest Film Festival for my performance in Hamster in my Head. And was the Live Action version of Kinger in The Amazing Digital Circus.
Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, I attended Arkansas State University studying theatre before spending many years as a traveling actor throughout the country. After returning home to Little Rock, I got involved in the film scene that the Arkansas capital had to offer: being cast in many student films, making my own shorts, and being in two award-winning 48-hour film festival submissions.
Now living in Chicago, I had a co-star role on Chicago PD, performed in several short films, children's theatre, commercials, and was in the western feature Dogwood, which stars Eric Roberts!
Next year, I'm scheduled to be the lead in Jerry Gonzalez's feature Big Spooky House!
