The Storyteller

Writer.

Director.

Director.

As a writer, there is nothing more enticing than the human condition. As Janos Kovacsi told me, writers live, and then put themselves on the page. Whether an ultra gritty socio-commentary on superheroes, or a touching drama dealing with grief, all my writing tries to explain the world and the humans who inhabit it.

Director.

Director.

As a director, there is nothing more fulfilling than imaging and planning out a whole world, and seeing it come to life in front of me. In film, I took a troupe of non-actors and shaped them to tell my most emotionally challenging story yet, and in theatre, Brechtian techniques are used to tell dynamic stories in interesting ways.

Actor.

Director.

Actor.

As an actor, I thrive on transformation. Whether it’s grounded drama or sharp-edged comedy, I’m fully in—body, voice, and instinct. I treat every role like it deserves everything I’ve got. I study human behavior obsessively, step into characters completely, and push past comfort zones to create performances that are bold, specific, and alive.

Elf: The Musical / Walter Hobbs

MR. BURNS... / Sam & Mr. Burns

Nominated for Outstanding Lead, Singer, and Dancer – Winner: Outstanding Actor
Commanding the stage as Juan Perón in this monumental retelling of the life of Argentina’s First Lady, I helped lead an emotionally charged, musically rich production. With precision, power, and presence, I brought both political gravitas and quiet vulnerability to one of history’s most complex figures.

MR. BURNS... / Sam & Mr. Burns

Elf: The Musical / Walter Hobbs

MR. BURNS... / Sam & Mr. Burns

Tapping into something primal and unhinged, I portrayed the villainous Mr. Burns—a role that demanded I channel shades of the Joker, the devil, and Elvis himself. This avant-garde, genre-bending performance pushed me to my artistic limits as I embodied the twisted evolution of a story passed down through generations. My toughest and most transformative role to date.

Elf: The Musical / Walter Hobbs

Elf: The Musical / Walter Hobbs

Elf: The Musical / Walter Hobbs

Nominated for Outstanding Lead
Bringing heart and humor to the role of Walter Hobbs, I found the emotional core of a father rediscovering joy. In this high-energy reimagining of a modern holiday classic, I balanced corporate rigidity with a growing vulnerability—showing that Christmas spirit really can break through the hardest shell.

Oliver! / Artful Dodger

Toss Me a Tempest / Prince Ferdinand

Elf: The Musical / Walter Hobbs

Nominated for Outstanding Lead. 

As the streetwise, magnetic Artful Dodger, I stepped into the fast-talking, nimble-footed world of Dickensian London. This role gave me the chance to blend sharp wit with physical agility, playing a character who’s both charming and desperate—a masterclass in energy, precision, and layered mischief.

Sunday... / Soldier

Toss Me a Tempest / Prince Ferdinand

Toss Me a Tempest / Prince Ferdinand

In Sondheim’s abstract and emotionally rich masterpiece, I played the Soldier—a character hovering between longing and obligation. With a blend of vocal power and quiet introspection, I contributed to the haunting beauty of the show’s broader meditation on art, love, and legacy.

Toss Me a Tempest / Prince Ferdinand

In this lighthearted, eco-conscious reimagining of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, I played the lovestruck and optimistic Prince Ferdinand. Designed for young audiences, the show blended classic storytelling with environmental themes and interactive moments. I brought warmth, charm, and playfulness to the role—inviting kids (and grown-ups) into a world where love, magic, and sustainability take center stage.

Beauty and the Beast / Lefou

Guys & Dolls / Sky Masterson & Nathan Detroit

Guys & Dolls / Sky Masterson & Nathan Detroit

A whirlwind of physical comedy and expressive chaos, I dove headfirst into the role of LeFou. With explosive timing, improvisational flair, and big-hearted goofiness, I brought Gaston’s loyal sidekick to life—earning laughs without ever losing the character’s human edge.

Guys & Dolls / Sky Masterson & Nathan Detroit

In a rare dual casting, I took on both Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson—two wildly different men navigating luck, love, and loyalty. From Nathan’s jittery charm to Sky’s suave confidence, I showcased my range in voice, movement, and character transformation. A balancing act of opposites that proved both challenging and deeply rewarding.
