It was in high school that I discovered the stage and a way to break out of some of my “shyness” by being another character.  After my first drama class in high school, I was in love with the idea of acting and I played a principle character in every high school production. Immediately after high school, I enlisted in the Navy.  I served my time and that separated me from anything to do with “entertainment”.

After my time in the military, I auditioned for some local theater projects.  It was difficult to face the rejection of not being cast in a role and it felt like I could never get into this tight knit group of people so,  I returned to my first love, playing drums.  I played drums in a number of bands from the early 80’s through the 2000’s all while working full time and trying to raise a family.

After too many years in snow and cold winters, I relocated to Florida.  That was my first short film audition.   Memories of high school stage days and the thrill and excitement of acting flooded all over me again.  Since being cast in a role in that short film, I have not stopped.

Now, I am a  non-union actor in Florida. I am on time, professional, dedicated, hard working and believe my job is to give the Director exactly what he or she wants to capture. I have a deep resonating voice that is great for voice over also. I am comfortable with serious drama or outrageous comedy, and everything in between.

Thanks for visiting my site and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at all.

Peace and love,
