     I was born in northern Pennsylvania. It was a small little town called Galeton. My dad was self-employed and ran different businesses throughout my youth (auto parts store, pizza delivery place et. al.). My father was also a volunteer firefighter and took great pride in teaching fire protection to students and using his knowledge as selling fire equipment to neighboring fire companies. My mother was a health and physical education teacher but quit before I was born to have children. She gave birth to 4 boys; I'm the oldest, I have a mentally retarded brother, and twin brothers.

     As a child my interests were the same as other little boys, wanting to be like their dad. I wanted to be a firefighter, like on the television series EMERGENCY! The fantasy world of television also opened my eyes to the world of performing arts. Since I was a kid I knew I wanted to be an actor. As other little boys did, me and my friends would make our own adventures. I would often mimic superheroes. I was infatuated with them. So much of my many adventures were of SUPERMAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and...WONDER WOMAN! (don't ask!). I loved Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter was a goddess to me. Watching reruns now I can see why. She's statuesque, strong, beautiful and oh so charming!

     As a teenager I struggled on fitting in with the other kids, I was not good at sports, somewhat shy and introverted. I saw that I didn't have much in common with the other kids at school. I graduated high school and in the fall left for college. I attended Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania. I got my Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism and my supporting studies in Theatre. I moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for about 4 and a half years. I finally moved to New York City... well not exactly... I resided (and still do) in Brooklyn. It's not all that bad. I like it and it's a short commute into the city. I'm currently pursuing my acting endeavors, and I perform standup comedy (often making fun of my childhood... Wonder Woman included!). I currently work in the hotel industry working the graveyard shift so I can have my days to audition. My goal is to be a successful actor, I don't have to be famous or incredibly rich. I just want to make an honest living on what I love to do.

     My other interests include: the Cinema (I'm a DVD-aholic!), I also tend to know a lot about TV and film trivia. My specialty is original TV airdates of classic (and not so classic) series. I like to keep in shape so working out is important to me. I feel I've come a long way since my youth, my life has been good, not complete but I'm working on that. I'm very fortunate to have my family believe in me and support me all the way. I'm very motivated and dedicated to make all my dreams come true.
