BIO
My acting life!
I was born in Forest Hills, Queens (NYC) and raised in Corona-East Elmhurst, Queens. As an only child I had a very active imagination that still helps me to this day in creating vibrant characters.
I began my acting career in 1989, but left in 1997 to work full-time in the high-paying corporate world. When I returned to acting and writing in 2012, I reconnected with a few pals from my first tour in the arts who are now successful.
One pal who’s a company member of the LAByrinth Theater in NYC, suggested that I should participate in their various workshops and intensives offered through the theater company for a training experience I would never forget.
After getting the 'rust off' at LAByrinth, I've had the pleasure of working with some truly great actors, directors, and crews. I've performed principal work on various film and television projects acting in scenes opposite Jared Leto, Hailee Steinfeld, Eric Roberts, Freddy Rodriguez, Will Hochman, Omar Epps, Malcolm Mays, and Joey Bada$$.
It's a joy to bring to life all these diverse characters in film, television, new media, and theater projects. Besides acting, I enjoy reading, tennis, long drives, great food, and photography. I look forward to working with you to help bring your characters and projects to life!
