Stay current! Here's what's happening NOW:
I was born in Portland, ME in the early 90’s to a loving couple with prominent Irish heritage. Growing up, I have fond memories of listening to the Dubliners in a warm kitchen on cold night… with my dad teaching me how to play the spoons, of course. I also grew up obsessed with movies and video games. Classic, right? The Nintendo 64 was my jam, and I watched Tommy Boy so many times I could recite the whole movie by the time I was five.
I found my second home in the studios of CAP21 (while it was still on 18th St). I studied under some truly remarkable people: Larry Arancio, Aimee Francis, Randy Redd, and David Hibbard to name a few. I finished my training in CAP21’s finale practicum program at the end of 2016 — since then, I’ve been working consistently with leading roles in shows such as ROCK OF AGES, WEST SIDE STORY, and SPRING AWAKENING.
I’ve also had the pleasure to work on several brand new pieces of theatre including the Off-Broadway premiere of ANXIETY STEW at the Cherry Lane, the world premiere of WHEN WE’RE GONE at the Lyric of OKC, and the original workshop of QUANTUM JANIS at the KO Festival.
I enjoy writing in my spare time, and I actively practice several instruments. A couple of my favorite authors are Hunter Thompson and Bill Burroughs. Rock music runs in my blood - I live for the 80’s and Tom Waits is a massive inspiration to me. Send me a meme and I’ll know you speak my language… then maybe I’ll kick your ass at Super Smash Bros.
