 I AM CONSTANTLY RE-DISCOVERING MYSELF.

'Actor', 'dancer', 'singer', ‘writer’, ‘voiceover artist’, ‘choreographer’, & 'songwriter' describe what I have been hired to do.

I've never been one to follow rules.

I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana. I was a high school dropout who climbed lighthouses & defunct McDonalds buildings for fun. …?!

When I watched my aunt Susan Blommaert in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, I knew I wanted to be an actor.

I live for cinema, theme parks, music, & getting to bed at a reasonable hour.

I have worked professionally as an actor since 2000. Today, I am represented by Grossman & Jack Talent.

I wrote my first play, THE SEX WORKER AND THE RHINOCEROS, based on a dream I had where I was acting in a play of that same title. It had its first public reading in December 2023 directed by John Markland starring myself and David Dastmalchian (OPPENHEIMER, THE SUICIDE SQUAD).

For close to a decade, I choreographed dance fitness routines for WERQ dance.fitness.workout, and was featured in their videos.

I wrote songs for and fronted a Chicago-based rock band called hearts & wands from 2017-2020.

I once worked at a 1930’s funeral home turned haunted house as a painter & a dry, blonde, Elvira-esque tour guide. However, I am too scared to go into other haunts.

My mission is to join vulnerable artists in telling stories that shift perspective, and ignite a sense of wonder.

I am curious to continue learning as long as I exist.
