Born on an avocado farm nestled along the sun-kissed coast of San Diego, California, where the gentle ocean breeze and warm sunlight likely imbued my early life with a sense of serenity. My mother, an employee of Lockheed Martin, likely contributed to top-secret projects, the details of which remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Meanwhile, my father, a dedicated marine biologist, devoted his life to combating oil spills, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to shape the environment. As I grew, I found myself drawn to the captivating world of music, and I subsequently pursued a formal education in the art of flute playing, while also developing skills on the guitar, piano, and singing. However, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, a condition that left half of my face paralyzed, forcing me to re-evaluate my career path and redirect my focus towards the world of acting.
As I retrospectively reflect on my past, I recall proclaiming that my Bell's Palsy diagnosis served as a catalyst for my decision to depart from my life in California and embark on a fresh start in Los Angeles. In truth, I suspect that my diagnosis merely provided a convenient pretext for my desire to sever ties with my former life and begin anew. This turning point ultimately led me to discover a passion for sound design, which in turn enabled me to secure a position working on a play for a fringe festival in the vibrant city of New Orleans. This marked the commencement of my journey as a creative professional, and I soon found myself drawn to the bright lights and endless opportunities of New York City. It was here that I immersed myself in the traditional methods of acting, honing my craft through a multitude of performances, both on and off Broadway. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on a diverse array of projects, taking me to various states and even countries, and presenting me with an abundance of experiences that have helped shape me into the artist I am today.
As a multifaceted creative individual, I am currently dedicating my time and energy to the development of my own feature film and pilot, meticulously crafting a narrative that will captivate audiences worldwide. Furthermore, I am committed to bringing my carefully conceived trilogy to life, with each installment meticulously mapped out to ensure a cohesive and engaging storytelling experience.
In addition to my ongoing projects, I am actively seeking out new acting opportunities as they arise, always on the lookout for roles that will challenge me as an artist and allow me to showcase my range. My recent endeavors have yielded a number of notable achievements, including the win of the Hollywood Encore Producer's Award for "Still Awake" in 2022, as well as the Best Drama award at the IFS film festival for "What's My Name Again?" in 2022.
My impressive resume also boasts a 2021 film titled "This Side Up," a 2019 television show titled "Sleepers," a 2021 commercial for "Halo," and a 2020 commercial for "Empower."
