About Me

Son of a convicted bank robber and a tap dancing Scottish immigrant. Raised in Philly which gives me the same amount of street cred as Pink! Multi-disciplinary artist creating theater for the past eighteen years with over 100 productions to my credit, including direction from Tina Fey of SNL fame. Attended the University of the Arts for a BFA in Musical theater and have worked up and down the East coast in Equity houses. Escaped Philly nine years ago to Chicago and devoted two years of my life to Improv theater. Have lived in LA for the past seven years working in all performance mediums. My films "Waiting" and "Flirting with Anthony" are distributed thru TLA Releasing and can be found on Net Flicks. Can also be seen dancing on VH1's Disco Ball with Whoopi Goldberg. Have had the opportunity to host an event with co-host Kathy Najimy, five Alec Mapa shows and extensive work with Ken Roht. Founder/Artistic Director of Start Productions (Producing commercially viable theater for under-served audience utilizing site-specific techniques) with the recent sold-hit engagement of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom starring Alexandra Billings. Also the Artistic Associate of Bootleg Theater assisting in the production of a plethora of shows.

My Interests

Pimp-My-Profile.com

I'd like to meet:

I hope some day to come face to face with my arch-nemisis Tom Cruise. So I could pick him up and spin him around my head by his ankles. "President" Bush so I can knee him in the nuts and Jessica, that well baby, so I could hug her. Awww. Creative individuals doing there own thing. Subversive types. And super steriod freaks for my army in the revolution. ** The majority of my friends list are poeple I have physically met. I don't appprove random friend requests. If you wanna be my "friend" then say hello.Ever Have One Of Those Days?
