He is known for leading roles in Quezon’s Game, The Boston, and Algea: God of Pain. He has a BFA in Musical Theater and MFA in Acting and Directing. He has traveled the world with his family living and working for extensive periods of time in NYC, The Philippines, China, Singapore, England, and now Chicago.

What are some of the projects you have worked on in the last 12 months?

I have been working on several feature films in the last year including the faith based film Wayfaring Stranger, The Primary Position, A Good Day for Everybody, Infusion and Algea: God of Pain which filmed in Utah. I’ve also been fortunate enough to work on a series of short films as well including The Quarters, Encounters, and Magic Savior.

Who is your favorite person on set?

Most recently I spent the better part of five weeks filming with a talented actor named Jeff Dernlan on Wayfaring Stranger. We shared a trailer, had adjacent housing, and developed a friendship that carried over on to screen.

What project have you worked on that made you a better professional?

Each film provides unique challenges and recently I’d say that the physical and psychological demands of A Good Day for Everybody kept me aware of how I would manage my energy throughout filming.

What advice do you have for your fellow actors or for people interested in pursuing acting as a career?

Build community, find a mentor who can support and encourage you, and take risks! Failure is an important part of life and often times a building block of growth and transformation.
