I grew up in a small town just outside of Fort Smith, Arkansas. When I was a little kid, I loved watching the classic Disney cartoons and old Westerns with my grandparents. I knew at a young age that I wanted to be an actor, but I didn't know the word yet, so I just told my family that I wanted to be the characters that I had seen. Most embarrassingly I told them, "I want to be a Heigh Ho!" I meant one of the Dwarfs from "Snow White." Now as an adult I realize how... inappropriate that sounds. I had no idea that there was a word for what I wanted to do, I just knew that SOMEONE had to say those lines at one point, and THAT'S what I wanted to do.
A few years later, I and several of my friends from school joined together as a team for Destination Imagination, a creative thinking, problem solving challenge. What's more, it required a short skit while you solved whatever problem it was that year, and that's where I found my joy. Every year, I would be the spearhead for writing our scripts and always loved getting the chance to perform for all of our classmates. As a team, we made it to the Global Finals every year except one! I also started getting into Community Theatre around Junior High, and that took me to a whole new level. Until then, the biggest musical I had been in was one I wrote myself for D.I. and now I saw all the work that really went into a production. I was hooked.
By the time I was in high school, I was doing shows with the Young Actors Guild. That lasted all the way up to when I went to college. I had one emotionally disastrous semester studying Graphic Design and went back to what I love: theatre. I changed my Major and studied Acting and Directing. I also started dabbling in voiceover, and it's been my passion ever since.
Now I'm a working actor, and I'm working towards voice acting full time. You can find me working in person on the "Frisco Silver Dollar Line" train robbery show at Silver Dollar City.
