This business is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

humbling…………………………………………………………………..this year I’ve done multiple things I’m really proud of but haven’t come out yet. I landed my first super challenging lead role in the UCLA Film school short ‘Paradise Blues’ where I also got to sing, booked the role of a sassy yet aggressive, black-eyed dancing inmate in the Tom Goss music video, ‘Not My Problem’, voiced a series of commercials for the Burner app. I auditioned with hundreds of performers and won the role of host for a cannabis themed game show called, ‘Stoner Wars, Are You Ready?’ coming in 2025.

Recently wrapped on playing Bastian Lockeridge in the entirely improvised, insane comedy feature film ‘Writer’s Block’ which was just submitted to SXSW and Sundance Film Festival. I had a super fun time playing the role of bad guy ‘Soft Jewelry CEO’ to a crowd of three thousand screaming fans at the annual Hard Jewelry Pop-Up at the Pomona Fairgrounds.

In 2023 I was a contestant on Let’s Make A Deal and won!!!! Meeting Wayne Brady was truly an honor and he laughed at my jokes!!! I got to lead act and re-write a series of corporate office sketches for a local LA industrial company, hoping they make them available to the public.

In 2022, I played a Senator in the sketch comedy episode “Age of Consent” on Gilly & Keeves TV. I also co-starred as the Monk in the “King Maker” video game commercial available on various online platforms. 

In 2019 I starred as Elder Lovett in the award winning Channel 101 sketch show “Rumspringa”. I got a chance to interview comedian and Comedy Central Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. for Politicon 2017. I produced, wrote and acted in the parody sketch commercial “Klonapark” because of my all my LA neighborhood parking nightmares…..

Long story long……My Origin Story (ahem):

I’m a Baltimore, Maryland born (youngest of 6), Los Angeles based comedian, writer and actor. I grew up making jokes and entertaining my large, dysfunctional catholic family. I was initiated at a young age to the comedy albums of Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters, Flip Wilson and Lily Tomlin. As a kid I loved watching I Love Lucy, The Carol Burnett Show, Mork & Mindy, Saturday Night Live, SCTV and In Living Color. I started acting in plays in elementary school as well as began my musical journey playing drums/percussion eventually starting a garage band in high school and one in college which lead to other bands eventually joining LA based indie outfit Cerulean. After almost a decade of practicing, performing, touring and recording I got burned out and took a pause from music.

I still desperately needed a creative outlet so I decided to look into improvisation, so I went to learn at The Groundlings School. There I realized how much of a comedy influence Groundlings Alums like Paul Reubens, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph and Jennifer Coolidge had on me at young age too.

Improv was terrifying at first but also a really good learning experience that lead me into the LA underground stand-up comedy scene. I wrote and performed stand-up every day for years while continuing several years of improv training with the Idiot Workshop. This led me to working and spending every minute at the Lyric Hyperion theater where I was lucky to study with amazing master clowns Jet Eveleth, Britain’s Got Talent Winner Viggo Venn, Philippe Gaulier teacher Mick Barnfather, Deanna Fleysher and Improv Man-Boy Wonder Chad Damiani. This led me to studying improvisational acting with the incredibly intense David Razowsky who teaches the Viewpoints Method. All this to say I don’t think I’ll ever stop failing at learning new things!

Don’t be a stranger, come out to a show and say hello!
