What's my background?
I have a B.A., Applied Arts & Sciences, in Drama, Emphasis in Acting, from SDSU made possible through funding from the U.S. Army G.I. Bill. I spent several years based in San Francisco performing and producing with a variety of theatre companies and other arts organizations. I was Managing Director of Unidentified Theatre Company and Executive Director of La Vache Enragée Productions - both 501(c)(3) organizations.
I transplanted from San Francisco to New York to further develop my arts endeavors and to delve further into the life of the 1950's pulp and social awareness author (and nearby Philadelphia native) David Goodis.
While in San Francisco I was represented by JE Talent And Queue-The Agency. In New York I have freelanced with Innovative Artists. I am currently seeking theatrical and commercial representation.
I am a member of SAG, AEA and AFTRA.
