About Me

I'm a working non-equity actor in the Chicago Theatre scene. By day I'm an Executive Assistant to a Commercial Finance team for GE. Although I work an unexciting office job, I'm quite the vivacious optimist and loyal romantic. My head proved sharp in school, but my heart drove me into the arts. Slowly I've drifted away from competing in athletic sports although I'll always respect and encourage the care and exercise of one's bodily instrument. I'm half Italian, an Aquarius, born in the Year of the Dog, an actor, a lover, a foodie, a oenophile. My yellow labrador retreiver, who lives with my parents, is named Penelope (Penny) Lane. If I were a superhero, I'd be Tony Starks the "Ironman." If I were a wine, I'd be an Italian Sangiovese.
