Sing: Baritone: Have sang for 3 church groups. Training includes Freshman Choir and Brief training session at Cornerstone Word of Life church.

Dance: minimal: chorus dancing in 4 musicals

Preferred Roles:  I like a number of types of roles. I don't mind taking smaller roles, and i have a growing fascination in Theatre of the Absurd plays. My favorite play to have been a part of has been "The Good Doctor" and my favorite musical to have been part of is a very well edited and directed "Seussical." The one thing i will say about what i do not like is any parts that are lewd or excessively graphic. After saying that, I am willing to discuss minor changes in those parts. I'm usually ranged as child to young adult roles (10-20).

About me as an actor: I'm a live wire guy who is trying to see if he has what it takes to get on in the world of theatre. I don't know how long i will be in Madison for, but i do know that one of my goals while i'm here (and maybe when i'm not) is to help any director/playwright/actor/technician anyway I can, because i want to learn how to be a part of this community and help see other peoples' dreams take flight.
