I had the privilege of growing up in an art centric community on beautiful Salt Spring Island, BC. It was here I was fortunate enough to come across some of the most talented and inspired teachers I've ever studied with and through various institutions such as the Gulf Islands School Of Performing Arts - my addiction to stage and screen work came into full fruition. After graduating, it was an easy choice for me; emphasizing Improv training and experience I was able to sign with an agency (The fine folks at Premiere Talent) and since then its been the dream. I've been lucky enough to book roles on a number of TV Series, Films, Made for TV-Movies, Shorts and Commercials." (backup link; original post has been deleted)
