I came to acting later in life, after teaching high school English, dabbling in academic philosophy, writing for small town newspapers, and exploring much of the American west, often on motorcycle.In theater, I’ve played a wide range of roles, including Richard Nixon, King Henry IV, Malvolio, James Tyrone, Jr., Holofernes, Dr. Caius, Brabantio, and others, at theaters such as The American Shakespeare Center, The Springer Opera House, The Arden Theatre Co., Walnut Street Theatre, The Alliance for New Music-theatre, Mt. Hood Repertory Theatre, Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival, and Northwest Classical Theatre. I earned my MFA at the U. of Houston Professional Actor Training Program, under Jack Young.In 2015, I widened my focus to include on-camera acting, and have begun to build a modest but real body of work in film, tv, and print. My most recent screen appearances are on NBC's THE BLACKLIST, and in the feature film SARAH Q, which will be released later this year. I continue to study on-camera acting with Matt Newton (MN Acting Studio) and Vance Barber (Bob Krakower group).When not acting, I can be found scuba diving, bicycling, skiing, motorcycling, and writing. I live mostly in NYC, but am often in DC, and travel frequently to the Pacific Northwest, for work and play.
