A talented individual emerged from the sun-kissed landscape of California's Pacific Palisades and Sherman Oaks, where he spent his formative years. In 1990, this ambitious young artist made the bold decision to cross the country, bound for the esteemed Carnegie Mellon University, the oldest acting conservatory program in the nation. There, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Drama, laying the groundwork for a prosperous career in the performing arts.
Following his academic triumph, he made the move to New York City in 1994, where he began to make a name for himself on the Great White Way. As an understudy, he gained valuable experience, with a notable stint in Steve Martin's clever comedy, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile".
However, it was his breakthrough role in the 2000 Tony Award-winning musical "Contact" that truly catapulted him to stardom. For his outstanding performance, he received a Drama Desk Nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical, a testament to his remarkable talent and dedication to his craft.
