Training under Actor/Instructor Burgess Jenkins in weekly class since Sept 2007 in Meisner Method Film acting (www.CarolinaActorsGroup.com). Began auditioning for student and indie films late summer 2008 with good results. Cast and filmed several shorts and recently cast for first indie feature film in lead role. I fully expect to transition from my current occupation into a full-time film career. My instructor calls me a "Preparation Monster". I am also studying in Summer Actors Collaborative series of workshops sponsored by The Paper Lantern Theatre Company (www.paperlanterntheatre.com).

Day job is self-employed land surveyor which leaves me the flexibility to pursue a second career in film acting. Creative, hard-working, intelligent, persistent nature, somewhat of a perfectionist. Father of three great children. Many life experiences to draw from for character preparation.

I was very fortunate to secure representation with Artist Resource Agency (ARA) in December 2008, one of the top agencies in North Carolina. Through my agent I have been actively auditioning for TV episodic ARMY WIVES & DROP DEAD DIVAS as well as several studio & TV films. I am interested in pursuing serious, quality student and indie film projects to build my reel and expand my range.

I usually seek out the challenging parts in lead or supporting roles, I think of myself as a mixture of Gerald Butler with some Michael Douglas, Hugh Laurie, Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, and Daniel Day-Lewis all mixed in together though I am in no way nearly in their arena. I expect in 20 or 30 years of doing this I could possibly be in their shadows.
