my story
I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and studied international business at Temple University. I came to LA in 2014 with a couple of home town friends with an open mind and big dreams of finding myself. Oh and the sun... and beaches... and girls... I wasn't fond of the corporate life and so I started taking acting classes to spice up my creative juices. Well, it wasn't soon after that I fell in love with the craft and play of acting. I immediately joined the Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio and studied the Meisner Technique for 2 years while hustling bartending. Afterwards, I landed a few TV roles and thought this was it... I was going to be a star. I didn't realize the grind, hustle, persistence, and patience that I would need to be keep going. Acting takes a lot of discipline and drive. The drive to keep getting better, to mastering your craft. My journey still continues today... but a new craft and art has also begun...
I've always loved the sessions I would have with the photographers in LA. The lighting and camera always interested me, so in 2024, a decade after I decided to study acting, I finally joined on the other side. Like acting, I immediately knew this was going to be the start of a long, fulfilling creative journey. The combination of the science of lighting, the technicalities of the camera, the collaboration with the actors makes for a beautiful craft that I fell in love with. When I'm not acting, writing, or doing photography I love playing basketball, tennis, spike ball on the beach, hiking, snowboarding, and going camping.
My experience as an actor gives me an edge from other photographers as I am in the trenches with you. I collaborate with my management team, agency, and community on a daily basis so we can get the best shot of YOU. What makes you, you. Your essence, your life force. Come join me on this creative journey. Break legs!
