My Story

Writing, acting, producing -- creating stories that make an impact.

I began college passionate about filmmaking and writing, developing my own scripts until I joined an acting class and discovered a love for performing. There, I met Matthew, a friend and creative partner, and together we wrote I’m Sorry Dad, a stage play we loved so much we produced it ourselves. Performing in the show was an incredible experience, and it received praise at our school, went on tour, and eventually made its way off-Broadway.

​

Following that, we wrote Hotel Del Cresto, a comedy produced in New Haven that also earned critical acclaim. Since then, I’ve continued performing in plays and films while writing for stage and screen. My next work to get off the ground is translating Hotel Del Cresto into a film and continuing development on the pilot The New World, which was an official selection at the Culver Film Festival. Other projects include The Hot Games, a feature now in post-production, and Dog Men, a short horror film I wrote/produced, also in post-production.

 

My love for acting and writing continues to grow: I’ll keep playing the doofus wherever I go, while my writing brings a blend of different styles and approaches for stage and screen.
