Bio

I was born in Kerrville, TX and lived in San Antonio, TX until the age of twelve. With my time spent in Texas, I began acting at the age of 6 starting with short plays made up by the directors and teachers at Magik Children's Theatre in downtown San Antonio. I started learning the basic aspects of acting by a teacher's at Magik named Angela, Devin, and others. My first official licensed show I did there was Suessical Jr. and I played the roles of the Baby Kangaroo and a Wickersham brother. I also performed in A year with Frog and Toad there. When I started Jr. high, I started performing in the shows at Alamo Heights Jr. School. During my 6th grade year I turned into a big brother by having two little sisters step into my life. My first show at Alamo Heights Middle was a straight play version of Alice in Wonderland where I performed as a Red Card and a Pot. Later, in my 6th grade year I finally got my first lead role, I was extremely happy, I played as the Dad in The Magic Diary of Mozambique. My last school show during Middle School was Thoroughly Modern Millie when I played as Bun Foo. In 2012 my family made the decision of moving all the way to North Carolina where my grandparents lived, when news got out to other family members, my aunt, uncle, and cousins from Washington state moved down here as well. When I started my High School career at Mountain Island Charter School, I played as Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka Jr. For all my hard work that my director saw in my performance, she suggested I go to New York to audition for a workshop musical. I auditioned and a few weeks later, I got news that I was part of the class of West Side Story High School Edition. In the summer of 2014 I went to a small acting school, Main Street Dance Works (now Theatre Street) and performed as the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz kids. In my 10th grade year, I participated in my schools very first full length production, High School Musical: On Stage. I performed the role of Ryan Evans, later that year, I played as Lefou in Beauty and the Beast Jr. During the summer of 2015, I discovered an acting school called Children's Theater of Charlotte. I performed as Joe Crowell, Si Crowell, and others in Our Town, which has been my favorite show till this day. In my 11th grade year I performed as Buddy in Elf the Musical Jr., later in the year I performed as Seymour Krelborne in Little Shop of Horrors at Mountain Island Charter and Conrad Birdie in Bye Bye Birdie at Main Street Dance Works. At the end of the School Year, I performed as The Bear in East of the Sun and West of the Moon at Children's Theater of Charlotte. During the Summer of 2016 I went back up to New York City to do another workshop show, Chicago High School Edition, which recently got published! In my 12th grade year, I performed in Madagascar Jr. as Melman at MICS and Lucky Stiff as Harry Witherspoon at MICS. In the fall of 2016 I begged and begged my theater teacher to charter an International Thespian Society troupe at our school, and after weeks my dream came true, all of my fellow actors, actresses, and I are finally noticed for all of our hard work that we put into performing arts. I am forever grateful to everyone who has brought me this far in my acting career.
