Currently: Back in the Swing of Things

Since returning to New York after spending time in Chicago, I’ve been steadily returning to performance and developing new work across acting and music.

Recent projects include a commercial shoot for Oktoberfest and a role as a security guard in an experimental short film. I was also recently cast as an audience member for a new television production from Judge Judy. Together, these projects have given me the opportunity to work across different production environments and continue building my on-camera experience.

Alongside my acting work, I’m currently developing a five-track album of folk and jazz covers with my wife, scheduled for release in Fall 2026. The project brings us together as musicians and collaborators, reinterpreting songs we love through our own arrangements and musical sensibilities.

This period marks a renewed focus on my creative practice across acting, music, and writing. I’m continuing to pursue new performance opportunities while developing independent projects and collaborations that allow those different parts of my artistic practice to intersect.
