I am a New York City based actor and filmmaker. As a professional actor I have appeared in guest roles in FILM and TELEVISION as well as Broadway in JULIUS CAESAR with Denzel Washington and Eamonn Walker and was featured in FESTEN opposite Julianna Margulies and Jeremy Sisto.

I have also appeared at or collaborated with Steppenwolf, The Drama Dept., The Public Theatre, New Dramatists, The Cherry Lane Theatre, New York Theatre Workshop, The Lark Theater and Lincoln Center Theatre Director’s Lab as well as others.

Originally from Ozark, Alabama I studied Theater at The University of Alabama and went on to finish my professional actor training earning an MFA at the Yale School of Drama.

In 2004 I started film school in the graduate film program at New York University to study Directing and Editing and was awarded a Dean’s Fellowship full-tuition scholarship. I am currently a MFA candidate and completing my thesis film prior to graduating.

As a Writer/Director, my short films have won awards and screened at dozens of festivals, including Palm Springs Short Fest, Chicago International, AFI/Dallas, Method Fest, Ft. Lauderdale International, Hollywood Black Film Festival and IFC/Rooftop. I have also been a participant in the Berlin International Film Festival “Talent Campus” as a film director and actor.

I have also been recently selected to attend the Sundance Institute’s Screenwriters Lab with my feature film script, The American People.

As an editor, my work has been honored and screened multiple times in the HBO/American Black Film Festival shorts program. Additionally I’ve recently edited three short pieces for acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee, including a look at Barack Obama and the historical events of Election Day – November 4, 2008.

I am also an adjunct at New York University’s undergraduate film and television program. I currently teach two courses: a course for directors working with actors and an intro to editing course.

I currently live in the southeast section of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn USA.
