July 29, 2025:

What a year so far! I’m currently recording VO for my first co-leading role in the Audible scripted series ‘Scorpius Home’ written and directed by Joseph Bodnar.

I’ve been lucky to explore more characters than I ever could have imagined and push my improv limits thru RPG. I’m part of the 7 member cast for 20 Grit, see full episodes on Youtube and catch us streaming on Twitch

The world is called Galadrin and it’s got humans, orcs, dwarves, elves, witches, goblins, trolls and all kinds of mystical wild creatures trying to kill us. I posted a photo of Galadrin in my photos to check out.

I’ve done multiple things I’m really proud of but haven’t come out……. yet:

I played a large supporting role in the episodic ‘Legacy Lies’. The show mostly focuses on the students of Sterling Valley Prep and I happen to play the new history teacher and parent to one of the teens. I’ll update this when I find out what platform it’s available on. I just wrapped shooting a really silly social media campaign playing a “douchebag” and bar tender for Fresh Clean Threads brand clothing.

I played the lead role of Congressman Franklin Philips in the CSN Film/TV school noir thriller short called ‘The Decison’. Just did my first supporting role in the LA Film school sci-fi short called ‘Monogamaton’.

In 2024 I landed my first super challenging lead role in the UCLA Film school dramady short ‘Paradise Blues’ where I got to sing. I booked the role of the sassy yet aggressive, black-eyed dancing inmate in the Tom Goss music video, ‘Not My Problem’, voiced a series of funny interview style commercials for an App called Burner then they cut out my voice. I auditioned with hundreds of performers and won the role of host for a cannabis themed game show called, ‘Stoner Wars, Are You Ready?’ air date still TBD.

I played the eccentric and zaney Bastian Lockeridge in my first indie feature supporting role in the improvised, insane comedy ‘Writer’s Block’ click title for the trailer. The film was submitted and viewed for the SXSW and Sundance film festivals.

I had a awesome time playing the role of the evil ‘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 had my first featured role as a Senator in the sketch comedy episode “Age of Consent” on Gilly & Keeves TV “The Special”. I also co-starred as the Monk in the “King Maker” video game commercial on Tik Tok. 

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…..

TLDR……my origin story:

Jack of all trades, a master of none, is far better than being a master of one - Robert ‘Greene’s Groats Worth of Wit’, 1592

Born in Baltimore, Maryland (1 of 6), raised in the deep, dark woods of Carroll County. Presently a middle aged Los Angeles based comedian, writer and actor. My Human Design profile is a 6/3 generator. I grew up making jokes and entertaining my large, dysfunctional, emotionally unavailable devout catholic family.

I was initiated at an improperly young age to the comedy of Robin Williams, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters, Flip Wilson, Lily Tomlin and Bob Newhart. As a kid I loved watching Looney Tunes, I Love Lucy, The Carol Burnett Show, Mork & Mindy, Saturday Night Live, The Golden Girls, SCTV and In Living Color.

I started acting in plays in elementary school as well as began my musical journey learning and playing drums/percussion in Westminster West Middle school’s concert, symphonic, orchestra and jazz bands eventually leading to starting the garage jazz-punk band Phatty in high school. Another band in college at University of Maryland lead me to San Diego bands which eventually lead me to joining LA based indie outfit Cerulean. After a decade of practicing, showcasing, touring and recording I got burned out and took a pause from music.

While running Walk Fido the dog walking and training company I started in 2006 to make ends meet, I still sought a creative outlet so I decided to try improvisation and went to The Groundlings school. There I discovered how categorically bad I was at improv but realized the oversized influence Groundlings Alums like Paul Reubens, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph and Jennifer Coolidge had on me from a young age. They loved to play and refused to grow up, two things I highly admire and thankfully require a lot of time and effort.

Improv was terrifying but also a really good learning experience that lead me into the exciting, amazing, revolting, abusive, toxic, “OMG no one should be here!” bottom rung of the “Hollywood Pyramid Scheme” that is the LA underground open mic/stand-up comedy scene.

I wrote and performed stand-up every day for over 5 years while continuing to expand my improv training with the Idiot Workshop. This led me to working and spending almost every waking minute for several years at the Lyric Hyperion theater where I was lucky to study with amazing master clowns Jet Eveleth, Britain’s Got Talent Winner Viggo Venn, Ecole Philippe Gaulier instructor Mick Barnfather, Deanna Fleysher and Improv Man-Child Extraordinaire Chad Damiani. This led me to studying improvisational acting with the incredibly talented AND 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!
