To live in fear is not to live at all.

About Me


I currently live in Columbia SC. I am an actor who is just waiting to make that breakthrough any day or week or month now. I have a distinct vision of where i want my life to be and im willing to pay the price to get there. Im a bit shy and quiet so i love being an actor as it gives me a chance to jump into someone elses life and be that outgoing crazy person i wish i was in real life. I love horror flicks and action flicks. I am experienced with stunt work and hope to continue to gain roles that require me to perform numerous stunts as well as show my ability to be a great actor. Basically i want to be an all around threat. I want to be known not only as a great actor but be known as a tough actor who can take an ass kicking and get right back up for the next scene and go throw down some amazing dialogue as well. I love lifting weights as well and that is a big part of my life but i am no dumb background scene idiot blockhead actor. Its my goal to in the near future become HollyWoods next great young horror movie actor, director and writer. I believe we as people should never go around obstacles placed before us, i believe we must go over top of them or through them with a vengence.
I am so addicted to the whole filming lifestyle. I love it, this is the reason i wake up in the morning. Everyday i roll out of bed hoping that this is the day that someone will notice me for the quality actor and good natured person i am and want me for their film. I have no agent, i constantly search and scour the net daily trying to find gigs and opportunities. My spirit is strong and my determination will never be broken. It will only be a matter of time before some major motion picture decides to put their faith in me and helps me make this dream a reality. There is plenty more room for another action star in HollyWood, and i dream of being it. I will pay my dues and bust my ass. Oneday, i will support myself and my family doing what it is that i love and what it is that i feel i was put here to do. If you are a director or producer looking for a solid actor in your film who is extremely versatile and easy to work with then look no further. I take pride and passion in my work and am extremely committed to my goals and projects that i am involved in.
This also may sound a bit weird but i have an extreme intollerance for people who wear fur for style. I hate the fur trade and everything it stands for and those who support it.

My Interests

Acting is my life, i love it. It is all that i truly see myself doing in the future. Every film i do, i feel like i need more. I am addicted to being infront of the camera. Please help feed my addiction and cast me for your movie!!! :)

I am obsessed with horror films of any kind. I am especially fond of slasher films, zombie films etc...

I also enjoy bodybuilding and powerlifting as well.

Other actors and directors. Anyone who may be casting for films. Im extremely interested in networking with all that are in our craft.Id also like to meet in general honest and good people because thats what i truly feel i am. People who share my love of horror movies are also on my "to meet" list.Id also love to meet Kane Hodder (the greatest Jason ever!). Vin Diesel and The Rock because they are HollyWood's top action stars today. Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead). Robert Englund (Freddy--Nuff said). Amelia Kinkade (Angela from Night of The Demons).
