The lightbulb turned on when I played Charlie Cowell the anvil salesman in The Music Man Jr. and learned what this theatre thing was all about. I can still recite every word of "Trouble" (ask at your own peril). Though if you want to go way back, my first taste of the stage was singing a song by Creed at the fifth grade talent show (luckily the footage has been lost).

 

I trained at the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University and achieved a BFA in Musical Theatre. Before leaving St. Louis, I received my Equity card at The Muny. Since then, I've lived and worked in New York City and sailed the ocean blue, before following my heart back to my home state to be a proud Michigan theatre artist.
