His first time acting was on the stage of a local community theater in the Christmas classic "A Miracle on 34th Street" in the role of Mr. Mara in 2009. His involvement in the local theater opened doors for him to later become involved in film, where he was an extra in the Emmy Award winning mini series "The Men Who Built America." and later followed that up with the James Franco film "Child of God". Over the last four years he has been absent in anything to do with film. Moving to Louisiana and focusing instead on his earlier dream of being a writer to which he now has two published works and is working on a third. However he is looking to become involved in the film industry once again.
