Inspired by this play and years beyond being a college graduate, I enrolled in an acting course at the local community college. There, I took a class on Contemporary and Improvisational Acting, where my natural ability took over. I was told by my professors that I had a genuine talent for listening and reacting and should start auditioning. I responded, “What’s an audition?” With that said, my first role was Dale Harding in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest at the same community college. While on stage, I felt extremely comfortable and free. I knew this was what I should be doing. Shortly after that role, I became a professional actor earning a nine month contract.

Over the next fifteen years, I continued to focus strictly on acting. Having the support from my family and friends, I was able to put all my efforts into auditioning and choosing projects that inspire and challenge me. In addition to acting, I continue to be an artistic entrepreneur as I make every attempt to succeed as an artist, musician, producer and writer.
