About Me

I am an actor and founder of Make A Change, an organization to assist AIDS orphans in Kenya through awareness and sustainable solutions. I am from the East Coast. Grew up in Connecticut. Went to school in New Hampshire and lived in New York City before moving to where I am now, Los Angeles. I love people who have something to say and even better those who say it.As far as Make A Change- I hit the jack pot being born in a place with plentiful water, public schooling, housing, paved roads, public service. I take joy in participating in projects that offer the opportunity to assist people who happened to not be born into the same benefits. We can all make a difference by using what moves us! If you are in line with this kind of thinking and are interested in taking a look at the project I am creating check out http://www.myspace.com/makeachangeproductions.
