Growing up on Long Island, New York, in a quintessential suburban setting, reminiscent of the nostalgic film "Stand by Me", I was one of five brothers, surrounded by an abundance of freedom and a relatively healthy childhood. The arts played a significant role in my early life, with singing being my initial passion, which later evolved into learning guitar and forming a band. We played numerous gigs across Long Island, honing our skills and building a loyal fan base.
As I pursued my artistic interests, I enrolled in the prestigious School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City, where I studied Illustration. This opportunity not only refined my creative skills but also led me to a successful career as a jingle singer and guitar session player. Furthermore, I had the privilege of studying acting with the renowned Warren Robertson, which furthered my understanding of the craft.
Before transitioning to Los Angeles, I secured several commercial bookings, which ultimately led to a series regular role on the popular HBO series "1st and 10". With this breakthrough, I made the decision to relocate to Los Angeles, where I have continued to thrive in the entertainment industry, never looking back.
