About Me

The answers to the question of LIFE are elusive, however I DO LOVE ACTING. IT HAS GIVIN ME MUCH AND SAVED ME JUST AS MANY. THAT IS WHAT ART CAN DO FOR PEOPLE. IT HAS HELPED ME SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL LIFE IS WHEN I AM WILLING TO LOOK. 9 YEARS STUDYING THE CRAFT OR THE ART OF ACTING HAS BEEN A BLESSING. ............................................................ ............................................................ ................I STARTED ON STAGE DURING MY DURING MY SHORT TIME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE. AS AN UNDERGRAD I WAS SURROUNDED BY TALENTED PEOPLE WHO HUG THE THEATRE OUT OF IT'S HOURS IN THE DAY. THERE IS SOMETHING DIVINE ABOUT BEING ON STAGE. A CHURCH TO SOME. CREATIVE PEOPLE CAME OUT OF THAT UNDERGRAD GROUP.EVERY ROLE I GET IS A BLESSING. DOING THE MOVIE AMATEURS IN KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE WAS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THAT. MET MANY, MANY, TALENTED, DRIVEN, RELIABLE PEOPLE. INSPIRING. THE MOVIE IS GOING TO BE A GREAT PIECE. IT PULLS YOU ALONG AS IT TICKLES YOUR ARM PIT.........
