I grew up in Schuylerville, New York, a very rural town, which I described to my friends from outside of there as the location that Eliza says is her "father's place upstate" in Hamilton. Growing up mostly surrounded by cows and corn,  with my best friends being my cats, I spent a lot of my childhood trying to figure out what I could do outside of that. 

With my active imagination and inability to sit still, my parents ultimately decided to put me in local theatre camps, which led me to performing in my first show, The Wizard of Oz as the Mayor of Munchkinland, at the age of nine. Ever since then, I have a found a deep joy and love in performing, whether it be from singing in my church choir, performing a one man production of Les Mis at far too young of an age, or being the only boy in my first ever dance class. 

Since then, I continued to find more and more theatrical opportunities in the area, which led me to go to college five hours away, in order to pursue my B.F.A. in musical theatre at SUNY Fredonia. A current senior, I am excited and ready to take my next steps in this industry and represent "my father's place upstate."

Outside of theatre, I love reading, watching movies, playing video games, and hanging out with my cat, Jake!
