I was born and raised in Saint Louis, Missouri USA. My High School years were in Iowa City, Iowa. It was at Regina High that I discovered I wanted to be in the performing arts. My first show was the school's fall production of "The Odd Couple" by Neil Simon. I played a small role as Vinnie, one of the poker players. My first Stage Director was Cary Beatty, and I will always remember him as a great mentor and friend. That was in 1989, my Sophomore year. In the following years, I played some notable characters as Mayor Shinn in "the Music Man," the Prince in "Cinderella," and Orin (The Dentist) in "The Little Shop of Horrors."

  After Graduation in 1992, I moved back to Saint Louis to attend college. In June of 1993, I auditioned for a role in the micro-budget video production of "Savage Harvest." I got the part of Mark, and it was the beginning of a long friendship with Director Eric Stanze, and the people of Wicked Pixel Cinema. I have worked on other movies since, but not as a primary character. Mostly as production crew, and in small roles. It has been ten years since Savage Harvest was produced, and it has just now landed on DVD. Also, Savage Harvest 2 has recently wrapped production, this time directed by Jason Christ. I am not in the movie, but from what I have seen on the set, it should be a good one.

  Other than the work I have done with WPC, I have been on Stage, Film, and Television. I am looking forward to getting back to work on future projects after taking some time off.

  A special thank you to you, my friends, for being so patient with me in getting all this started. Those of you who know me, know what I have gone through. I have had to put a lot on hold, and the time has come to continue on.

  Thank you for your interest in my work. You are what makes all of this possible.
