	Although I was born in Fayetville, AR I have spent most of my life in the Tulsa area. I became interested in acting in high school but did not pursue it until a couple years after. Most of my training is in film acting; however I have been involved in much theatre as well around the Tulsa area. In John Logan's Never the Sinner, I played the part of Richard Loeb at the Heller Theatre. I also played the part of Michal in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman at the Theatre Club.
