He spent his formative years in Louisville and after graduating from high school began studying and eventually working as both an actor and dancer in Louisville, Florida and Chicago. A member of the original Hubbard Street Dance Company (Chicago), he left dance at the age of 24 to go out on the road, hitchhiking across country, hopping freight trains, living in hobo jungles and working as an itinerant worker -- something he would continue to do, off and on, for over a decade.

His television credits include, "30 Rock", "Law & Order: S.V.U.", "Boston Legal" and episodes of the original "Law & Order" series.In 2007, he received a Best Actor nomination from the 29th Annual L.A. Weekly Theatre Awards for his portrayal of Andrew in Chuck Mee's two person play, "Limonade Tous Les Jour", which won the award for Best Ensemble Cast.
