I  was born January 7,1978 in Savannah, GA. Raised in Savannah were I attended Groves High School and Graduated in 1996.

Then, attended Savannah Technical College and Graduated in 2011 with a degree in manufacturing specialist.

I have a  passion for manufacturing , fabrication machining parts and troubleshooting.  I been in this industry for 12 years.

Coming from a church family and being a preacher kid (PK) . My Faith keeps my humble and knowing God has me covered.

A few years later, I found my true calling for the art of acting where I to love entertain and telling a good story. I started to learn more about the industry and stated taking some acting classes , scene study, commercial classes and meeting and networking with many people. Working on a few sets as a background actor help me  learn about how take directions, learn your marks , understand the language and learn everyone job to make everything comes together. 

I work on some feature and student films to improve my craft and me be a better performer. I continue to learn and sharpen my skills taking different classes and workshops.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
What I have learned in this business is nothing come easy you have to work hard and put in the work to get the greatest outcome. What I have learned in this journey is you must have confidence to rise to occasion and have the right mindset. 

Some of the struggles I face is you have to realize every role you audition for is not for you. So, you can’t get discouraged when you are told you’re not the right fit for a role you just do your job and you keep pushing to the next audition. Do you best and have fun with it? 

There are many mistakes new actors make along the way and you learn from them and you grow. You must surround yourself with people that have the same goals to uplift you and each other. I’ve truly have been blessed to meet some great people along my journey they showed me a lot about the in and out of the business the dos and the don’ts. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?

I got some few children’s books also that I’m working on. 

I also started my own small business doing home improvements and the company is called Quality Home Improvements. Where I do minor repairs and upgrades to customers’ homes. I specialize in laminate flooring, new door replacement, etc. My ultimate goal with my business is I want to be able to give back to the community and help the elderly that need home improvement to their home who has limited income. 

What sets me apart from others I have a big heart. I believe in doing right by others and giving back to my community. I believe God has a master plan for everyone and he already has my plan in motion.
