I’m a South Louisiana native living and loving Brooklyn. I am in New Orleans as often as I can be, near my amazing family and soaking up the joy of all the tastes, smells, sights & sounds that remain a continued source of inspiration in my NY life. I love all things travel, and I connect with nature any chance I get. My daily meditation practice keeps me centered, grounded and smiling. I am the proud papa of the sweetest Bordoodle on the planet, Lincoln, and the lucky owner of a sleek & sexy camper van, Miss Vanjie, who takes me on adventures a plenty. I also work as a Real Estate agent with the Dalia Glazer Team at Compass.

I studied theater at Louisiana State University, Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and finally received my MFA in Acting Shakespeare from George Washington University's Academy for Classical Acting.  The language and the universality of Shakespeare will always mesmerize me. I love excavating and embodying the language of the classics, exploring mask work, and diving deep into the physicality of characters. In grad school, I also learned how to be one amazing clown (Peanut Tommy the Tadpole) under the guidance of Chris Bayes.

I look forward to meeting you.
