As an actor, I’m dedicated to the imaginary and its ability to create shared experiences. Recent acting credits include a Series Regular on a pilot titled Loopers (New York International Film Festival, NYC East Village Film Festival), a Co-star on Before They Kill Again Season 1 (ID Network), voiceover work on a National Ad Campaign for Defenders of the Realm (Greater Than Games), and Lead Roles in Ties That Choke (Fresh Black Films Film Festival, North Film Festival, Triborough Film Festival) and The Veil (Reelworks Film Festival). Over the years, I’ve performed in spaces such as The Kennedy Center (D.C.), Gorilla Tango Theatre (Chicago), Crossroads Repertory Theatre (IN), and North Dakota Shakespeare (ND), as well as touring the Upper Midwest..
