but acting was my first love. I graduated from the acting school at UCSD and acted in plays at the La Jolla Playhouse before moving to LA to pursue film/television.  I hit the ground running sleeping on an air mattress behind the bar in my friends living room. From serving zucchinis to actors like Woody Harrelson at a vegan restaurant in Santa Monica, to driving Uber and picking up Vance Joy after his soundcheck at the shrine (thanks for the free tickets!),  to digging swimming pools working construction, to running the self tape studio for actors auditions at Argentum, to driving bands around LA like Temper Trap & Chvrches when they’d come to town, I’ve worked every starving artist job under the sun.  After some hunting and pecking I signed with an agent and started booking some roles. Maybe you’ve seen me in TV shows like Notorious or Criminal Minds, The indie feature Custody Road or my latest Weed commercials (Or maybe you haven't). Yeah you probably haven't. I don’t think anyone really watches the shows I book other than my mom and my grandma.

That’s where the music comes in.  With all the down time in between jobs and the uncertainty of it all, music has always been my main creative outlet.  An inspiring space where I could pick up my guitar and express myself freely without waiting for anyones opinion or approval. Behind a red door off Redondo street in the Mid Town Miracle heart of planet Los Angeles is where I started crafting my catalogue of songs & where I got my name. I’ve been rehearsing my released & unreleased songs with a great drummer & bassist/keyboardist & we’re gearing up start playing live.  I’m excited to get the ball rolling for the live show & continue to write, record, & perform exciting music that fires me up. 

Much love,
