Welcome

I am an actor, singer, improviser, and voiceover artist based in NYC. I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA (although you can't tell from my "accent"), and moved on to the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore where I studied voice and did a lot of Opera. Since moving to NYC I have studied acting with Ron Stetson (2 years of Meisner) and also studied improv at the UCB and The PIT. I'm currently performing around the city with my two improv groups Painkiller and Student Driver.

On stage I have performed as a British cop (think Casablanca) in Buddy Becker's Big Uncut Flick in the Fringe Festival, a variety of zany characters in Ten Reasons I Won't Go Home With You at the Midtown Theatre Festival (nominated for outstanding lead actor in a musical), the book worm mama's boy Natwick in Pvt. Wars with Apple Core Theater Company, and a variety of other plays, musicals, and operas like Dinner at Precisely Eight-Thirteen (Brick Theater), The Painter (Barrow Group Theater), Right Cross Rhapsody (Red Room), Say Your Prayers Mug (Red Room), Kiss Me Kate (Ashlawn Opera), and many others.

In TV I have appeared on "Guiding Light", "Flight of the Conchords", and "Rescue Me". You may have heard my voice in a number of TV and Radio ads. Most famously I was the converse speed dating his mom in the DSW Commercial!

I also maintain a job as an Account Manager with my brother's company Blue Sombrero (I'm also the voice for this company)! I work with youth sports leagues across the country helping them with online registration and league management.

Reviews

"a knockout performance of the very conflicted, very uncertain policeman"
nytheatre.com on The Painter

"the standout, doing double duty as Sonny and, hilariously, as Postman Pierre"
nytheatre.com on Say Your Prayers Mug!

“his phrasing, like his acting, had real flair. The little sobs in his voice when he started I have a song to sing, O! in the finale hit home.”
The Baltimore Sun on Yeoman of the Guard
 
"seemingly everywhere at once in a variety of characterizations"
