Don's illustrious career in the performing arts began with a notable role as tree number three in the beloved production of Charlie Brown's Christmas at St. Pete's Elementary School during his fourth-grade year. However, his promising start was abruptly cut short due to the debilitating effects of stage fright, which manifested just hours before the performance, rendering him unable to take the stage.
Despite this setback, Don persevered and subsequently joined the local Little Theatre Productions, a decision that would prove instrumental in his overcoming stage fright and paving the way for a illustrious career that would take him to numerous stages across the country, from Saskatoon to Toronto, Vancouver, and ultimately, New York.
Throughout his illustrious twenty-year career, Don has had the privilege of studying and working alongside some of the most renowned teachers and actors in the world. In New York City, he attended the prestigious HB Studios, where he had the opportunity to study under the guidance of Carol Rosenfeld and Uta Hagen, two of the most respected names in the industry.
In addition to his extensive work on stage, Don has also expanded his repertoire to include various film and television projects, a testament to his versatility and dedication to his craft.
