ABOUT ME
Hey thanks for stopping through. I'm really just a simple guy who enjoys making people smile, laugh, and see their true potential. I'm from a city called Texarkana, Arkansas (Twice as Nice) which is about two hours east of Dallas, Tx. You know growing up I was the biggest class clown you'd ever seen and please believe it came with a lot of whooping from the "rents." I've always had some kind of object in my hand acting as a microphone talking to either my classmates or imaginary audiences inside my house so I guess you can say entertainment has been in my dna since birth. I've been playing the piano for more than ten years now and it's such a relaxing gift. I find that in times of stress or just boredom playing the piano just eases everything. It was when I got to high school that I learned how to speak in front of a camera as the school's news anchor for the daily announcements. I fell in love with everything about television which led me study broadcast journalism at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville. During my tenure in college I had the pleasure of walking on the football team for two years. After hanging the cleats up I signed with my very first agent Linda Layman with the Linda Layman Agency out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. After graduating college in 2012 the acting bug was all over me and I was super curious about it so I began to really see what would happen if I actively pursued it. It was the best decision ever. My first acting job out of college netted me my sag card and ever since then my career has gone to a new level each year. From being the face of a National Campaign to booking recurring roles on daytime and primetime shows I've been very blessed to do this thing called acting. It's the best job and career ever. My goal and purpose in life is to inspire everyone, especially those that might be on the verge of throwing in the towel, to stick with it and don't give up. You just never know how close you are. I say this from a true place so trust when I say that. Enjoy the process because dreams DO come true.
