Behind
the scenes
My journey in the performing arts began in 2003 after winning the Forensics California State Championship in Oratorical Interpretation for a performance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Drum Major Instinct.”
My passion for the stage soon evolved into a love for theatre, film, and television. I trained with Proverbial Studios as Assistant Director on the short film You Want Love (2006) , and interned at a local Pennsylvania television station (WTVE).
Not one to limit myself, I joined the Domino Players Theatre Company in Reading, PA where I stage-managed, directed shows, apprenticed in the design shop building sets, rigging stage lights and drapes, as well as managing the control booth and front of house. I auditioned and acted frequently in productions, and studied Opera and Musical Theatre under the tutelage of Grammy Nominee Jeffrey Lentz.
Later on I founded a small media company called The Bored Brand and partnered with La Pirata Productions based in New York City to produce and shoot the short film Fateful Chance (2019).

You Want Love (2006)
2nd Assistant Director
The short film centers around a nervous, self-deprecating protagonist who finds himself intensely attracted to a "really pretty" and sweet woman. Paralyzed by a deep-seated fear of rejection, he struggles to overcome his own insecurities while convincing himself that she is completely out of his league. The story relies heavily on dialogue and comedic timing, highlighting the internal and external chaos that erupts when someone tries to find the courage to pursue a romantic connection.
