Originally from Lancaster, PA (Amish Country!) I was the super active little brother running around the waiting room at our local dance school while my older sister took dance classes! My mother and the dance teachers tried to focus that energy into dancing and gymnastics and I was hooked with “all things performing” by age 4!
I grew up combining dance and voice lessons and having a blast as a child/teen actor doing productions at our local theaters such as the Historic Fulton Theater and American Music Theater which cultivated my love of the industry.
After high school, torn between pursuing a career in aviation or a career in musical theater, I made the decision to head out west to Las Vegas, NV to attend TAPS (Theater Arts Preparatory School) which honed my skills as a dancer and singer and prepared me for a profession in musical theater! When I had almost finished the program, I got hired for an 11 month cruise contract as a dancer and I’ve been adventuring ever since!
As Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Believe you can, and you’re halfway there!”
I have always loved learning new skills! My hobbies such as Cyr Wheel, Upright and Bass Guitar, tumbling, flying airplanes, and being a part-time online Computer Science student at Arizona State University, helps me to stay versatile and well rounded! A dedication to performing, as well as high standards of professionalism, ensure my disciplined tenacity and positive energy!
