I live in a yellow house in the foothills of the Cascades. Assuming you’re here for professional reasons, I’ll steer my focus from my admiration of 19th Century French painting and 21st Century Norwegian recycling practices and towards my craft. As an actor, I collaborate on work in many places including (some favorites) New York, New Orleans, Austin, Amherst, Ashland, Boston, Budapest, Bonn, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and a dreamy little theater in Tblisi, The Republic of Georgia. Recently, I received Best Actor in a Short Film at the London, Madrid, and Milan Film Festivals and am currently in the the film Above the Trees and the audio drama Othello.

My writing has been filmed for the screen; shown at the 2023 Tribeca and 2024 SXSW film festivals; published by Yale Palimpsest, Jefferson Journal, Smith & Kraus and American Dog Books; and performed on many dusty stages you’ve probably never heard of but would really super dig. 

I am also the founder of Finding Our Tales, national storytelling workshops that embolden youth to share their voices through the tools of theatre. I’ve had the honor of wagging Tales at City University of NY, Southern Rep, Yale University, New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, Seasons Bereavement Programs, Creative Connections, Camp Mak·a·Dream, Beargrass Retreat, Siskiyou School, and Southern Oregon University (among other locales).

I am committed to creating work that proliferates kindness.

Thanks for visiting.
