…and here’s some fun details…

I grew up in a barn surrounded by horses, and spent every weekend cleaning out stalls. A lifelong nerd, I have a deep love for Dungeons &Dragons, boardgames, Shakespeare, Renaissance History, and Italian art and language. After years of being a scaredy cat, I've recently discovered that I LOVE horror movies. Talk to me about the Scream franchise or Hereditary any day. When not in the booth, I love working with doctors as a Standardized Patient helping physicians build empathy. You can also find me trying to make the perfect bowl of pasta from scratch while my giant Golden Retriever, Eddard Bark, vies for my attention. In addition to being an actor, I've spent over a decade in the world of technology in Silicon Valley.
