    I never found success as an actor until I learned to love the process of getting work – from auditions, to networking, to marketing for gigs etc. I started “working” in 1994ish, local dinner theater, and lots of stipend work, but not until 2005 did I quit my day job, working full time using my talents on stage, at corporate events, educational outreach programming, and producing my own events. Now I spend 80 hours/week performing, teaching, commuting, marketing, etc so I never have to spend another hour working dead end meaningless jobs.

    In 2008 I landed a manager to submit me for commercials, TV and film. I had already gotten myself booked on NICK, MTV, WE, a few commercials and 9 episodes of David Letterman. Working in the club’s, a guys selling tickets on the street said to me, “My friend knows a manager. Let me connect you!” About a week later I met Jaime Baker. A week later I booked my first national SAG commercial. Since then I have had some costar on Billions, Blue Bloods, Royal Pains, HBO’s Pause with Sam Jay and Blacklist.

    I never truly loved teaching until I learned to love mentoring students of all ages to use art to either pay the bills or enrich their lives in other ways. There are millions of teachers out there. I do my best to serve the way my mentors served me. Sometimes life lessons are blunt realities. Sometimes, far too often, students don’t appreciate the message or education. But there is nothing more glorious than seeing your students shine in a showcase. Since 2011 I have seeing running a comedy (mostly Improv) school in Times Square. Of course seeing them become TV/Film stars is whole other phenom. Watching former colleagues become writers on TV shows, WINNING A TONY!!!!! I brag zero credit, but bask in the pride of being a tiny part of their journey.

    In 2014 I bought a house. As rents skyrocket I am locked in. Combined with tenacity as an entertainment business owner I have survived inflation, pandemic, 2008 crash etc. While others complain about fairness, lack of opportunities etc, I focus on getting work. I’d like to teach you how….
