A seasoned Character Actor w/ 20+ Years Experience on Stage, Screen & the Tele!

I performed for eight years with a small Shakespearean Acting Troupe in the Los Angeles area, where I learned the basics of my craft & stage combat. In addition, I've studied with coaches that have been touted as some of the contemporary greats, Kate McGregor-Stewart, Richard Lane, Robert Hamilton, Lacey Altwine, Mike Mahaffey, June Chandler, Nancy Wolfson, The Actors Studio, L.A. Fight Academy, and A.I.A. Studios.
