About Me

I graduated from the University of Texas in 2003, and since then I've been in Los Angeles making my way as an actor. Despite my lack of affinity for it, I've been doing musicals almost exclusively and I'm having a blast. I was born in Chicago, but I like to call Texas home since I lived there for 13 years. Austin is the greatest city in America. Layout by www.PimpedOut.info
