About Me!

When I was growing up in Iowa, I used to say to random people in line at the supermarket that I was from Mars. In full voice I might add. My mom, standing behind me, would coach me and say, "just go with it” to the very confused old ladies who were typically my audience at that time of day.

​

I might not have been aware at the time that I was born to entertain, but thankfully, my parents were. They put me into creative arts programs as early as possible and I’ve since never looked back. I fell in love with acting and the entertainment that I get to bring to other people through it.

​

In addition to acting, I love reading, hiking, playing piano, and drinking iced vanilla lattes with oat milk (even though I probably don't need to caffeine! I also have an extensive background in working with kids and am currently a teaching artist with Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Marin Shakespeare Company, and New Conservatory Theatre Center.

 

I feel so lucky that my job is to inhabit the little moments of life through different character’s experiences. I love that I get to help people escape into a different reality, even if just for a little bit. I relish in the joy of getting to entertain others - it's a beautiful way to make a living. 

 

While I no longer look like the little child who used to say he was from Mars, I still (and always will) keep his little heart inside me that is born to entertain.
