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.

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 where I teach a course for film and tv directors working with actors.
