Like many, I first stepped onstage in a kindergarten Christmas pageant as a nativity star. I uttered one Biblical line in awestruck terror and was smitten. So began my lifelong passion for performance. Acting was a gift, an exciting outlet for expression and escape from a challenging childhood. Repertory in high school. Daring, experimental fringe. Plum roles with regional theaters in Houston, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago. My own company and award-winning plays. Fleeting brushes with Hollywood breaks. But being an unapologetic queer man in a very discriminatory era came at a casting price. In my 30s, my partner and I had the chance to adopt a daughter facing developmental disabilities. I embraced the blessing of fatherhood and tabled my career until she was an adult. I’ve since returned to the stage to some acclaim and have resigned my corporate career to commit myself to finally realizing my potential as an actor.

I do not have an agent and am looking for representation
