Thanks for stopping by!

I’m a proud graduate of Syracuse University with a BFA in Acting and a concentration in creative writing. I regularly take classes at The Groundlings, and aspire to be an improv performer. Over the nearly two years since moving to Los Angeles, I’ve been involved in projects large and small, across TV, Film and Theatre. When I’m not auditioning or performing, I am the Improv teacher at New Roads School in Santa Monica. Oh, and I bartend at the world famous Laugh Factory in Hollywood!

But that’s just what my resume says.

What it leaves out, is that I was born and raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I’m the oldest brother to my two best friends in the world, raised by the most hard working, gorgeous mama in the world. I have a big ole’ southern Jewish family. I’m in a relationship with the most beautiful, talented woman I know. I love a football Sunday as much as a Sunday matinee. And I always surround myself with my ludicrously creative, ridiculously hilarious friends. Always.

Feel free to check out my reels while you’re here…and don’t be a stranger, shoot me a message!!!
