Acting Coaching Biography

I started my professional acting career at the age of 13 playing a little boy in “Attila” at the Houston Grand Opera. By the end of high school I had performed in over 30 plays and musicals including lead roles in “Grease”, “Oklahoma”, and “Little Shop of Horrors”.

I attended the Yale University Drama program where my acting coursework included dramatic literature, playwriting, Advanced Acting, Speech and Performance, and Shakespeare. I joined the Yale Dramat acting company and wrote, performed, and directed over 40 plays and musicals including the role of Alice in “Closer”, Ophelia in "Hamlet", and Connie in “A Chorus Line”.

After graduation, I moved to New York and was cast in an off-Broadway Musical “Belles of the Mill”. After a few years, I moved to Los Angeles, joined SAG and booked appearances on E!, FX's Nip/Tuck, MTV, Nickelodeon and the WB while working on numerous film projects including "The Caregiver".

I started giving private acting lessons in high school while teaching at the Kinkaid acting camp under Patty Edwards. At Yale, I continued my work giving private acting lessons to members of the Yale dramat and to children in the area. I also volunteered as an acting talent scout for a local children’s acting company.

For two years in New York I worked with actors on many Broadway and off-Broadway plays and musicals as well as providing audition preparation, and text analysis lessons for film actors. After moving to Los Angeles, I have provided private acting lessons and industry coaching for actors of all ages and skill levels. I have also worked as the resident acting coach for numerous production companies helping coach and direct actors for feature films including Judd Apatow's "Walk Hard."
