Hello, and welcome to my digital portfolio! I am an experienced playwright, director, actor, and producer residing in Oklahoma City, OK. I have been actively working in the industry ever since obtaining a BFA in Theatre Performance from the University of Central Oklahoma.
My vast background in theatre and film has earned me full-time industry employment and various accolades. This includes my past position as Managing Director of Jewel Box Theatre, in of which I rebuilt the once historic company up from near extinction. This endeavor awarded me Oklahoma's NextGen Under 30 award in 2022. Currently, I am a member of the management team for Oklahoma's official state theatre and largest equity house, Lyric Theatre of OK. I am also a regular contributor to Theatre Crude Fringe Festival.
In this online portfolio you will find various documents, videos, images, links, and other information from my history as a writer, director, designer, actor, and employee. I hope you enjoy what you see, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any other questions or inquiries.
