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.
