About me
I began performing for my family at a very young age, and was steadily encouraged by my parents during my formative years in high school, acting in plays and winning speech competitions.After high school I travelled to the US to learn from some wonderful coaches and such instructional comedic meccas as the IO and UCB.
After several years of performing comedy in the evenings and auditions during the day, I made a decision to pursue my career as a professional bartender (main cash-generating gig during this time) and had a great deal of success with such, working on my material through guest interactions and subsequently owning a few bars/restaurants.
In lieu of my partnerships and businesses dissolving during this current industry shutdown; my constant and undying devotion to writing new stand-up material and deep desire to perform, I am re-entering the realm of acting/performing. It is with fresh perspective and the inspired hunger/ vigour of a man who has survived many trials and tribulations of adulthood to present myself in front of the camera and microphone once again.
It is with supreme drive and confidence that I am
beyond thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to do so.
