Theatre

Little Shop Of Horrors

My first experience doing musical theatre was playing Seymour in this cult classic! Puppeteering and being eaten by a giant plant remain highlights of my career.

Seussical The Musical

My first show out of college was Seussical the Musical. I had the pleasure of playing the Cat in the Hat, and working with Conundrum Theatre Co., with whom I've developed a great working relationship.

Our American Tragedy

My latest foray in theatre has been with Sunny Gingham Company for Hollywood Fringe, my second year being involved with the event. Our American Tragedy tells the story of the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, through the eyes of the actors who witnessed it.

New Works Festival + Hollywood Short and Sweet

My next show with Conundrum was with their New Works Festival, in the original play The Ballad Of Timo and Mel. Doing a homoerotic cowboy show was not something I had on my bingo card, but it was so much fun.

The next new works festival I got to participate in was Hollywood Short and Sweet. I was ensemble in The Line, directed by Nick Roy, a show that was "wild-carded" and brought to semi-finals.

The Greenhouse: An Emerging Voices Festival

Comprised of two different programs and containing more than 10 original plays, The Greenhouse was such a special experience. I got to meet so many new people, and be in 3 different shows for the festival.

Film

The First

My best, and most favorite work so far. I had the privilege of being an integral part of this film, and met so many great people working on it. Since its completion, it's gone to Portland Horror Fest (and won an award for best special effects), and will be headed to both Fright Night Film Fest in September and Screamfest LA in October!

Directed by Susan Ruth

The Victim

I got to play the vicious Jude in The Victim. A character who I spent a brief time with, but had a blast portraying.

Sae

I play the mysterious Carter in this upcoming crime thriller.

Background Work

When I'm not the focus, I'm in the background of a lot of different shows and movies! I've done background work on 911, Hacks, Grey's Anatomy, and MaXXXine. I even appear in the red band trailer, walking down Hollywood Blvd. if you can catch me! I've also worked on various indie films, like Harpies, The Victoria Krueger Show, Death and Ramen, and Fight Like A Mother.
