BEST ACTOR winner for Violet at the Gallup Film Festival in New Mexico.

Nominated BEST ACTOR for Violet at The American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco AND at The Red Nation Film Festival in Beverly Hills.

As a classically trained actor, I've played numerous roles from Shakespeare and Moliere to Henrik Ibsen and Arthur Miller, and have appeared in many feature and independent films spanning from Disney to National Geographic, from the Civil War to modern times. Films like "The Haunted Mansion", "Deadly Obsession", and "Ambrose Bierce: Civil War Stories" to Television in "Situation Critical: Apollo 13", "ER" and "The District". In 2006 I helped produce and I hosted a documentary of the 35th annual Wichita River Festival that aired on PBS.

I've had the good fortune to train with teachers such as acclaimed actress, writer, and director Joan Darling, theatre legend Mary Jane Teall, and Christina Ferra-Gilmore and Sara Ballantine of The Actors Edge studio in Beverly Hills.

I appeared in the feature film "Wichita" in 2015, and completed the short film "Violet" for Native Boy Productions out of Oklahoma City. I also wrote and directed the short films "Family Matters" and "7 Days" that are currently being submitted to festivals. And I am currently involved with several television and feature film projects that are in development and/or pre-production as actor, writer and producer.

As a professional Ballroom and Latin dancer and instructor, I look forward to the day I can dance on Dancing With The Stars (just once), and developing/creating memorable characters and stories like my idols Michael Landon and Clint Eastwood. I also look forward to spending more time with my lovely wife, Valorie, and our son Chase, who has Down Syndrome and is involved in the National Down Syndrome Society and the Down Syndrome Society Of Wichita.
