Well, what can I say, it's been a while since I last shared my thoughts with all of you. This site underwent a complete transformation in 2024, and I'm thrilled with everything the past year has brought me. Since my last blog post in 2017 (wow, how did I overlook it for so long?), I've made significant progress. I've traveled throughout the Midwest, taken on various character roles, met numerous amazing filmmakers, built lasting friendships, won awards, became SAG eligible, and established a reputation in the acting community. Since I started my journey in 2016, I've accumulated 37 acting credits in film, streaming series, and pilots. I've also done a few dozen commercials. I haven't yet secured a television role, and that's my next big goal.
What have I learned in my 9 years as a film actor? That I feel most alive when I'm embodying someone else. It seems wild, I know. But imagine experiencing the thoughts, emotions, and experiences of someone who doesn't exist- until you bring them to life.
I've written a few screenplays of my own and turned two of them into short films. I'm currently working on completing my second feature film script, which I hope to produce in 2026. I'm always striving for new goals and experiences. What is life if you don't make your time on earth special? Knowing that I was part of creating stories that could inspire many is something I aim for.
I will never stop creating in some form for as long as I live. It is what truly fuels my passion. And I encourage everyone out there to pursue their dreams, no matter what they are. It's never too late.
Absolutely inspiring!!!
