I was raised on God and Country.  Because both have blessed me with so much,  I have dedicated my life to service to pay it forward.  I started out in the mental health field, and then had a 25 year career in the FBI.  But my service isn’t over.  I want to teach people to connect with each other, to protect themselves and their families, to appreciate what they have and where they live, and to come together as a nation —just like we did on 9-11.  Acting is the vehicle I have chosen to do that because I can reach the most amount of people and touch them where they are most vulnerable with my creative spirit. 

 

You read that correctly: I was a real FBI agent.   I began as a latent print expert in the FBI Laboratory who testified in federal court.  After becoming an agent, I served as a fixed-wing pilot, a behavioral science profile coordinator, and even a spokesperson for four years in the New York Media market --the biggest and quickest moving in the nation!   I once lifted the rotted, maggot-infested, stinking corpse of an unidentified man out of body bag in an effort to identify what was left of him.  I identified countless deceased members of our armed forces when they returned home to Dover Air Force Base mortuary.   I held the burned passport of a 9-11 hijacker in one hand and the wallet of a World Trade Center victim in the other.  I've sat across the table from high level drug dealers, mobsters, pedophiles, and white collar fraudsters --and convinced them to turn against their friends.   I've hunted down spies and flipped them into assets.  I found the evidence that sent a top ten fugitive to prison for life and identified the Madrid train bomber.   (Truth be told: that was just dumb luck.)  Early on in my career, I moonlighted at the Fox Television show "America's Most Wanted" for several years working the famous 1-800-CRIME-TV tipline (no longer active) where I was on TV almost every week during my tenure.

 

I'm no hero, no big shot.  I'm just a mission-oriented guy with a strong work ethic.  Not much surprises or scares me anymore.  I've always had a creative streak and a strong imagination.  So,  I changed gears and trained in acting and voice-over at ATC Studios, helmed by seasoned actress and instructor Kathleen Kellaigh (CBS "Guiding Light).  ATC Studios produced some  celebrity names such as Federico Castelluccio (Furio on HBO's "The Sopranos") and Rachel Zegler (Steven Speilberg's  2021 "West Side Story" and 2023's "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes".  I've also studied on-camera acting with Stacy Van Gorder at SV Acting Studio.  Since I entered acting, I have worked on numerous film and TV projects --even as a lead character.  I have even recently provided script and technical consultation on an upcoming feature film.  I would love to collaborate with YOU!  Check out my demo reels and see what I can do for YOUR next project!
