About Me
I am a Chicago actor, writer, and director. 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 in Chicago, I have had a co-star role on Chicago PD, performed in several short films namely Hamster in my Head, children's theatre, commercials, and have a western feature on the way called Dogwood which stars Eric Roberts!
