Why hello there!

It all started in 10th grade English when I performed for my class as Iago in Shakespeare's "Othello".  I DEVOURED that script.  Not literally--that would have been disgusting and unhealthy, but close to it.  As I left the room one day, my favorite High School Teacher Ms. Cushman stopped me and said (I'm summing up a longer mind-blowing conversation here) "If this is what you want to do, you should do it."  I'm a good student, so I listened to her.  I've been stage and film acting ever since!  I have an insatiable love for learning and carry techniques of Meisner, Adler, Grotowski, Stanislavski, Suzuki, Shakespeare's First Folio, Viewpoints, and 8 years of hard Improv experience to the craft.  From the theatre scene in Seattle, to the improv landscape of Chicago, and to the vibrant film world of Los Angeles, my constant curiosity of the human experience is the endless reserve that drives me in this craft.   I share that knowledge with the youth of tomorrow, or "pee-wees" as we sometimes call them, and many other ages if you'd like to see my history in the field under "Resume".  Feel free to peruse the shelves in the top right corner.  Just don't go looking for exposed pictures of me with fruits and vegetables--you definitely WON'T find them in the photo gallery.  Stop.  Stopstopstopstop!!
