Professional life aside…
…for those born and raised in the Pacific Northwest…you are somewhat destined to end up with a deep love for nature, open spaces, and all things green. That’s also where I began my career as a performer, with a speaking role as French Fry #1, in our kindergarten production of “The McKay Cafe.”
Since 2015 I’ve lived and worked in NYC, and my home is presently in Brooklyn with my wife and partner of over 10 years, and our cat Liz. In my free time, I enjoy running in the park, reading, playing games with friends, drawing, and photography, not to mention watching (and often crying along with) animated movies.
I'm proudly a 1% for the Planet Business, am a volunteer narrator for the New York Public Library for the blind and visually impaired, and support other organizations I'm passionate about like the Prospect Park Alliance, The Trevor Project,
