About Me

I'm an actor who has just finished my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, Operations Management. Recently I finished working on the projects Dance of the Dead, Outrage,and Love on the Rocks.
I've been in several stage productions, including Best Little Whore House in Texas, Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Honk!, and Annie Get Your Gun. I enjoy stage work, but am working seriously on my film career at this point.
My last big project was Dance of the Dead a production by Bishop Studios, who also made The Other Side , which I also worked on. I was in DoD as the Gravedigger, and I was also the Production Designer (this is the first time I've ever been a department head, what were THEY thinking?!). This is the second project I've worked with Gregg Bishop on, and I really enjoyed it, despite crazy schedules and trying to work around the insane weather we were having. I have also recently worked the production Outrage and followed by Love on the Rocks where I played the character of "Creepy Guy" as well as was a Master Set Designer or whatever they end up calling my work.
I have also recently been working with the Atlanta Sketch Comedy Troupe known as Sketchworks. The only real sketch comedy group in Atlanta, it's reminiscent of Saturday Night Live when it was still funny.
My most recent project was a stunt reshoot for Outrage in which I rigged Kenny Lesco falling down a cliff and off a waterfall. Unfortunately, I did no acting in that one, but my work is there nonetheless. I was assisted by Jason "Lucky" Parker and Rob Acox without whom I would not have been successful!
Anyway, that's me for now, check back for more updates as they occur, and I will also be be blogging my life in the crazy world of film making.
Further kudos to:
YourAct, without whom I probably wouldn't have been able to find/been invited to/be in this great opportunty!
