My goal as an actor and a human is to make anywhere I go a happier place. I am not afraid to make a fool of myself in the pursuit of comedy and I am not afraid to be myself. I've lived my whole life in Pittsburgh, and during that time I have pursued laughter in any way I could. Growing up, my life was filled with using silly voices and playing characters, but it wasn't until High school that I realized I wanted to be an actor. Now, with a BFA in acting from Ohio University, I am ready to continue my journey of making other's day better. Whether I am making a tense room happier, or making you laugh through the screen, I hope to make you smile.

My Type

I play the "loose cannon" leading man. He is charming and inventive, but incredibly high energy and hot-headed. I play this character in two main fashions. Either in a more light-hearted comedic manner, or in the character style you most likely refer to as the "Dick" of the cast.  

My type is similar to actors like:

-Ashton Kutcher (That 70's Show)
-Glenn Howerton (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
-Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
