Born a gifted actor & naturally talented artist in Edmonton, AB - I moved to Vancouver to follow my dreams of being in the entertainment industry. I am a musician who was working in the Music Industry & producing for a well known artist at the time (2010-2014). Due to this, I was able to work with and meet many of the artists I grew up listening to (Bone Thugs n Harmony, Machine Gun Kelly, The Dogg Pound, 2Pacs Producer, etc). It was this that lit the fire underneath me to start truly taking my dreams seriously. Always being a lover of cinema - my main goal was to make music for movies & maybe get into the industry. This was when I was introduced to some actors & my uncle who won an Emmy for special effects on Interstellar was giving me tours of his warehouse & also getting me tours through sound studios, which was when I realized my true dream. Being an Actor.
I immediately I started pursuing this, getting on set anytime I possibly could, and I worked my way up agencies from All Star, to Picobello, to Ignite and then staying with Brandi England with her new agency “All Heart” - she has shown immense belief in me and my natural talent, and I am now taking my training very seriously to sharpen my skills and resume.
Acting is my life, and I love to do background work in between gigs and to continue staying fresh on set, learning as much as possible by watching and learning.
I have been featured in almost every background gig I have done, usually ending up front and centre. I am very easy to work with, highly respectful and friendly, and a great team player. I learn fast & I am a good listener. I have a natural instinct for cinema, and all that comes with it.
This is my dream & I will never stop.
