Actor, writer, Producer, artist, musician, and photographer. I have a real passion exploring all creative fields but acting has always been closest to my heart. I was born in Miami Florida and moved to Los Angeles 13 years ago. My parents also have a home in Maine. I go there every summer because it happens to be my favorite place. If you ever get the chance to go, GO! I am very fortunate to live in nice little house in Burbank, CA with a pool and trampoline. I am also surrounded by a beautiful vegetable garden which I tend to everyday. There is nothing like a juicy, ripe, homegrown tomato!
//Job History
I have been acting for the last 18 years of my life. I graduated from the Theater School at Florida State University. My first professional job was in 1994. I played the late Roy Sheider's Son on an episode of the hit show Sea Quest DSV. I have been acting in movies and guest starring on television ever since. I just finished writing a feature this summer called "ELLE". It just got finished with production and is due to be released in 2010. I also work a lot in TV commercials usually doing something silly. This is my second year involved with the Doorpost and it has changed my life!
