My Story

Hi and thanks for visiting my site.

I was born in Hartford CT and spent about 13 years in NYC before I moved out to Los Angeles.

In NYC I performed in countless plays and a few TV, film and commercial projects. I made it as far as Off-Broadway back in 1988.

I moved to LA in 1994 and been perusing a career in mainly TV & Film, however, I still do more theatre than anything else at the Ruskin Theatre in Santa Monica! Great peeps and good times!

I have been a bartender since the age of 17 and currently I am part owner of Harvelle's Santa Monica. I spent 20 years bartending at a little spot called "Liquid Kitty" and let me tell you, that was 20 years of too much fun!!

Back in 2010 I discovered the flying trapeze and immediately became addicted! I try to train at least once a week, sometimes twice and have made a ton of great friends with this hobby obsession! Check out TSNY where I train and occasionally teach!!

On this website you will find info on my acting career, my bar, and flying trapeze. 

Feel free to look around and hit me up with any questions!
