Bringing Characters to Life

With a warm, versatile vocal range, this actor specializes in smooth, emotional voices while also having the range to pull off exaggerated, quirky characters. He enjoys leaning into protagonist roles but finds great joy in those complex, quirky personalities. Excelling in both drama and comedy, his strengths shine in emotionally charged and intimate scenes, where he combines genuine feeling with impeccable comedic timing and tone. Among his favorite roles are Klaus in It Lives in the Woods, the stage role of Tybalt in Romeo & Juliet, and Strix in Jozzer’s Unofficial Squid Game. He remains very open and is always eager to take on new genres and creative challenges.

A Journey from Stage to Studio

His creative journey began early, experimenting with every form of storytelling, from camcorders to tape recorders, and organizing makeshift skits with friends. This passion evolved into voice work and theater in his teenage years, starting with an ensemble part in Fame. Driven to refine his craft, he later attended the Art Institute, studying Digital Film Production, and earned multiple certifications in screenwriting while developing his original pilot, Saving Jesus.

His path took an unexpected and thrilling turn when he discovered puppetry, a medium he instantly fell in love with. With guidance from experts and the San Diego Puppetry Guild, he mastered the art of building and performing with puppets, which further ignited his storytelling passion. Today, he continues this lifelong creative journey by lending his voice to numerous projects and creating puppet-based content under the Latchkey Squad. He has been a trusted collaborator of Grey Hammond for years on several unofficial projects and is now honored to officially join the team as an actor. He believes deeply in the importance of community, having learned that the creative flow thrives on support and connection.

Beyond the Mic

When he’s not immersed in acting, you can find him balancing his work at a PA office with the demanding, wonderful job of juggling a toddler. His hobbies are as varied as his characters, including puppetry, film, hiking, board games, and traveling. He and his family typically spend their weekends exploring trails and going to the theater. His commitment to his dreams is clear; he once did personal computer repair and lived on couches for nearly a year just so he could move across the country to California to pursue his creative goals. His personal philosophy is simple: Be genuine and live life with passion, because people will always resonate with the energy you give.
