When I was a child, I used to throw myself all over the living room on Saturday afternoons using the sofa cushions as crash mats (much to my mother's consternation). I had an enormous amount of physical energy and loved to get lost in stories - both those in my own head, as well as those from my favorite films, books, and video games. Thirty years later you could say I'm still doing the same thing: throwing myself - body, voice, heart, and mind - completely into the act of storytelling.

I believe that stories bind us together and teach us more than we give them credit for. It is in stories that we find solace and understanding, it is in stories that we learn about the experiences of others, and it is in stories that we can truly face the deeper questions of what it is to be human.

So I consider myself very lucky to be the human element in the field of storytelling. My aim is always to create a full performance of deep commitment and high quality, whether in service to my own story or someone else's, and whether it is my body, my voice, my hands, or all of them together doing the work. I am very a collaborative worker, always aiming to be in dialogue with my fellow creators to ensure that we are working together to reach a shared vision.

Originally from Baltimore, MD, in the USA, I now live in Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Denmark, with my wife and two young children.

I am a proud member of Dansk Skuespillerforbund.
