Born in the vibrant city of Detroit, Michigan in the year 1972, a pivotal moment in time that would shape the future of a talented individual. Just two years later, in 1974, he made the bold decision to relocate to the sun-kissed city of Los Angeles, California, a move that would ultimately influence his artistic pursuits.
As a young student, he attended Gladstone High School in Covina, California from 1986 to 1989, simultaneously pursuing his passion for music at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, and FairValley in Covina. Interestingly, his early training as a classical pianist laid the foundation for his later transition to the guitar.
Throughout his teenage years, he had the opportunity to hone his musical skills as a member of "Antoneus Maximus & The Nuthouze Band", performing at various local venues in Los Angeles. In 2004, the band embarked on their first album project, featuring guest appearances from renowned artists such as 'Apl.de.Ap', 'Dj Motiv8', and 'Dante Santiago' from the critically acclaimed group "Black Eyed Peas", as well as 'Kid' (Chris) from the iconic duo "Kid'N'Play".
In addition to his acting career, he also dedicates time to practicing and teaching Hatha Yoga, a testament to his commitment to maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Furthermore, he continues to pursue his passion for music, playing Guitar/Piano and singing with his band "Gene Wilder", comprising close friends and fellow actors "Brian McGuire" and Brett Roberts".
