about me

I’m a San Francisco based actor whose story began back in high school where an intrigue in acting sparked while watching my friends in a production of The Importance of Being Earnest. That led to auditioning for the next production, and intrigue transformed into a burning passion once I stepped onto the stage for the first time as King Creon in Antigone. 

Now, that passion allows me to understand that every aspect of a production– no matter the medium– all share the same, simple goal of telling the audience a story.

That’s the underrated part of the job that I love the most: we get to be storytellers in our own way. We connect ourselves to a role not just to share the story in the script, but to also share the stories and experiences we carry within ourselves.

Stories can have unexpected turns however, and my story led me to a nearly decade-long career in video production for Games Media. While my main passion for acting took a back seat in order to learn video and podcast producing, I found that video games, anime, and comics gave me new types of stories to fall in love with. While discovering a new passion for these different avenues of storytelling, a nagging voice in the back of my head kept telling me, “You miss this. You miss telling stories.”

And here we are. After a year of taking Film & Television classes with First Take in San Francisco and voice lessons with Real Voice L.A., I couldn’t be more excited to reignite the passion I found on stage over a decade ago.

So let’s tell a story together.
