If you asked my biggest fan to define me and the way I live my life, my mom would give you these three words - "exuberant, merry, and zealous."

 

But I'm more than just a can do attitude. My inherent extroversion has led me to a passion for crowd work and improvisation, which I found a home for recently as Patchy the Pirate. Thinking off the cuff  and goin’ with my gut is something I pride myself in, which lends itself well to playing fast talking loudmouths and boisterous dim-wits (e.g. Lewis in Pippin, Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, Starbuck in 110 in the Shade, etc.). I also possess within me a certain sensitivity, and on the outside a youthful face sparkling with mirth and hope that’s just begging to be crushed live and onstage to tug at an audience’s heart strings. This makes me the perfect candidate to play your sensitive boy next door or your hopeless romantic (e.g. Marius in Les Mis, Matt in The Fantasticks, etc.).

 

I just graduated  from Marymount Manhattan College with my BFA in Musical Theater in May 2024, and now I’m on tour with the national tour of the Cher Show! Before Marymount, I grew up in Colorado Springs, CO, which means I was raised on Broncos, good local brews, and rock climbing. After the tour, and when I’m not hangin’ about in the hallways of Pearl and Ripley Grier, you can expect to find me in my room playin’ some Darius Rucker or Hozier on guitar, venturing down to Avenue J to grab a slice at Di Fara’s (the uncontested best slice of pizza in the world), or grabbin my chalk bag and crash pad and doing some bouldering.
