It all started in the fall of 2002 in film school. At first, I thought I wanted to be an editor. Then, while sitting in a photo-storyboarding class, I couldn't help but notice the sounds of another class next door. Everything from wild animals to broken hearts would spill through the walls I sat next to, distracting me from the day's lecture. They were actors. A craft I had never imagined I could embrace. After all, the only play I was ever in was an 8th grade rendition of Greek Mythology, where I was Aries, the God of War. I was a Marine, a computer geek, an introvert! I can't do acting! The curiosity, however, would be the devil on my shoulder. Then the angel (Melissa Sydeman) would become my first coach. It was then I decided to face my fears, and embark on the lifelong adventure of acting and storytelling. I have since embraced all aspects of the craft from film & theater, to television and radio. Following my dreams is now only inhibited by myself and the choices I make. I am more excited about life now than ever, and hope to learn from everyone I meet, and every story I tell. Born and raised in Little Rock, AR, I am currently living in Northwest Arkansas where I am close to my family. My love for the entertainment community here grows each day, and I am continuously looking for new projects.
