My resumes (right on desktop; down on mobile) probably sum this up much better than I can right here, but since you’re still here, still reading, I guess I’ll give it a shot!

Born in Chicago, Illinois, I’ve spent my life all over the United States learning everything I can from technology, to acting, to music theory, and media management. My talents range from sight reading in Latin to estimating the average length of a fiber communications installation. But no matter what you have me working on, I can guarantee, no other employee or artist will work harder.

Skills (You May Be Interested if You Reached my Website for a Theatrical Reason):

  • Music – singing, sight reading, theory, trumpet & more
  • Acting – Shakespeare, Melodrama, Broad/Farce Comedy, American Realism, etc
  • Accents – experience on stage with Irish, various regional British, Slavic, “Old” Southern & Texas Southern. Good ear. Able to pick up variations & new dialects with relative ease
  • Dancing – Proud mover! Strong rhythmic instincts make me in step & strong acting techniques make you never look at my feet.
  • Stage Combat – experience on stage with hand to hand, falls & pistols

Skills (You May Be Interested if You Reached my Website for a Theatrical Reason, but Need a Well Rounded Artist, Not Just an Actor):

  • Media Design – theatres have hired me to do everything from Front of House dramaturgical displays to social media memes to season brochure designs. Need someone to do a “social media take over”? I gotchu covered.
  • Directing – specializing in world premiere/original work, my “savvy” directing style focuses on actor development and unique spacial story-telling.
  • Stage Management/Run Crew – extensive experience with backstage work including makeup design, stage management, costume crew head, light board operations & spot operating.

Skills (You May Be Interested if You Reached my Website for a Totally Different Reason & are Really Confused by all the Acting Information):

  • Social Media Management & Content Creation – for many companies, social media can feel overwhelming, or even irritating. Let me handle the captions, photos, editing, layouts & hashtags, while you worry about running your business.
  • High Computer Proficiency – while a full list is available on my Corporate Resume, You May not know what these programs do. Neither did I. Every program on my resume was either self-taught or picked up in a high speed environment (aka I had to learn it ASAP). From ticketing to project coordination to construction engineering/Design, if you have a software I need to learn, I will.
  • Self-Management – Your expectations of my work will never exceed my own. My schedule, work output, efficiency, and productivity are my responsibility. However, I never fear asking questions. If I need help, I’ll let you know, as my goal is always to be the best at the task at hand.
  • Leadership & People – even if you reached my site for an office job, you will end up hiring a joyful, fun, singer. While productivity is my responsibility, so is the productivity of my peers. People are more productive when motivated & happy. I love helping, I love making people laugh, and I love doing that while creating top-notch work.
