ABOUT
ME!
Upon receiving the microphone at five years old to sing in a local church's Christmas Cantata, it was quite clear that Michael's endearing rendition of "Jingle Bells" would be his first of many performances on-stage. The young boy jumped at any chance to sing or act from that point on and retained this same passion throughout his later years. Some noteworthy credits from this annual Christmas production include: mischievous child in grocery store, livestock in stable (perhaps the most dynamic sheep you'd see at any church event) and his personal favorite, Michael the
Archangel... fitting right?
While roles and creative opportunities have since varied, I often find myself recalling these moments as I further define what it means to be an artist. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Theatre (Acting & Directing) with minors in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship from Muhlenberg College, and I'm currently pursuing my MFA in Acting at the University of New Orleans. I've trained in Realism, Improv, Musical Theatre, On-Camera, Classical Verse, Commedia Dell'arte and devising. My vocal training encompasses classical and contemporary technique with a focus towards traditional belt and the musical theatre cannon.
Some of my favorite artistic memories include studying Physical Theatre at the Accademia Dell'arte in Arezzo Italy, being Music Director for various musical and vocal ensembles, and performing in local and regional productions. Feel free to reach out and say
hello! I'd love the opportunity to work with you. Check out my
