Beginning his acting career in college, he’s amassed many on screen credits since then. Given the opportunity to play the fun loving yet level headed character of James in CongestedCat's first feature Summit, led to many collaborations in several shorts and another feature, before becoming one of the hosts of CongestedCat’s monthly screaming series IndieWorks and a full fledged member of the team. Outside of those productions, you can see him in a recent audiobook commercial, as well as some upcoming roles on new series and films coming out in 2020. He’s also started writing his own pieces, currently in development. To him making it is all about enjoying the journey and making people laugh, cry, and fall in love along the way.
