I'm a keynote speaker, an actor, singer, composer, producer, writer and videographer from Bloomington, Minnesota. My multi-dimensional passion for music and storytelling has led me to work on various productions with Stephen King, John Mellencamp, T-Bone Burnett, Bruce Greenwood, Sally Struthers, Shuler Hensley, Joe Morton, and Richard Marx. My most noteworthy project was playing the lead role as Matthew Fogg in the award-winning film "FOGG" (for which I won three Best Actor awards for my performance). Not only was I fortunate enough to play the lead role, but I also had the pleasure of composing and sound-designing the film as well. Aside from formal opera training and acting training, all of my knowledge and expertise has come from learning and working alongside highly-seasoned professionals in the entertainment industry - which led to the formation of Studio E16.
