About Me
Born in Ohio. Raised in Illinois. I was born into a family of story tellers. Without knowing my family's history with theater and storytelling, I started theaster at a fairly young age without a single peep from my parents... to their delight never stopped trying to be in my school shows. Unbeknownst to me, my grandfather and great aunt had studied theater in college and I had decided of my own free will to go out and audition for these productions. They never said a word till I had already made theater my whole life and I couldn't back out at that point... but I'm not complaining. I have come so far with so many goals and aspirations. My current focuses lie in acting, directing, writing, stage combat and intimacy coordination.
As an artist it is my goal to create art and change the world. As a story teller I want to tell stories that make you question your choices and spark change. As a creator I want to create a world with open hearts and minds. As a human being it is my goal to help others feel loved and to love themselves. I studied theater and acting at the University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign and began my professional career this past summer at the Theater at Monmouth as Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing and on the Joe Sear's track that winter in A Tuna Christmas.
Lets work together and make something awesome!
