While I'm new to acting my background includes serving 4 years, (1981-1985), as a canon fire direction specialist, (13E20P), and paratrooper in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division including a deployment to Grenada 25 Oct - 4 Nov 1983 for Operation Urgent Fury. Upon my 1st honorable discharge I began working in the construction industry, first as a carpenter's helper then I moved into land surveying, contracts administration, project estimating, materials sales and right of way acquisitions before moving into information technology and computer programming. In May 2006 I re-enlisted in the Army National Guard as an Information Technology Specialist, (25B20K), until June 2011 when I was retired. I've also volunteered as a youth little league coach (3yrs), soccer coach (1yr), Scouting cubmaster, (2yrs) and scoutmaster/ leader trainer, (12yrs). I'm quite handy can solve many problems and I'm good at building, fixing and/or repairing various things. Towards the end of the pandemic, I began answering open casting calls for background actors and worked on "The Locksmith," I appear in "Squealer" and another feature I worked, "Dead Letters" just wrapped in Feb. 2025. In April, I was cast as a lead in a concept short "Generational Difficulties" and I plan to be involved during the making of the feature. I've lived all over the country and can copy many of the accents that I've heard.
