Story: As a child, growing up on a dirt road in a small town in Southern Vermont, I was challenged by the lack of things to do. With no immediate neighbors to play with, my family became the audience to many magic shows, mini-plays and living room talent shows. This is when I really developed my imagination as rocks in the field were transformed into space ships and cows were alien intruders. Fortunately, there are many artistic outlets in southern Vermont if you know where to look. As a teen, I busied myself with dance classes, plays, classical trumpet and The Weston Playhouse. At The Weston playhouse I spent many summers learning the craft of the stage. I was the "local boy" who would do anything for the show. I had the pleasure to work with really wonderful New York actors at a very young age. I currently live in New York City where, besides serving as co-director for MNE, I study Acting with Fred Kareman and pursue acting and directing.

I am a graduate of the Boston Conservatory where I studied Theater with a minor in acting and dance. Here is where I began my training in Movement Theater with Erica Batdorf. While in Boston, I was thrilled to be on the faculty of The Jeannette Neil Dance Studio and Leon Collins Tap Studio. After college I made the big move to New York City and began working as an actor. My professional credits include European Tours of West Side Story and My Fair Lady starring Richard Chamberlain and the National Tour of West Side Story playing the role of Bernardo with choreography by Jerome Robbins. Most recently I directed the one-man show Up, Up, and Away and performed in "The Money Shot 2 - Here we come again" by Chris Andersson.
