2018 - Present
I didn't begin acting in 2018... I left the corporate world in 2018. After years of part-time acting/singing while holding a job in television production, I decided to make a move to the full time pursuit of my craft. While I enjoyed the ride and the stability of the former position, it was time to go. I didn't begin acting in 2018... I left the corporate world in 2018.

Apr 2021 - Dec 2021
As Co-Producer of the Legend of the White Dragon (independent feature film in the B$1-1.5M tier), I oversaw multiple departments and acted as a liaison with our union, SAG-AFTRA to comply with the agreements between performers and production regarding safety, compensation, working conditions, and Covid Safety. I engaged talent, booked crew, booked locations, setup vendors, prepared budgets, prepared Call Sheets, Scheduled days, etc. Indie Film - the world of a billion hats on one head!It was a thrill to get the opportunity to work alongside a long time friend, Aaron Schoenke, as he and his Producing/Directing Partner (and Father!) Sean Schoenke directed the film. Aiding them in bringing their vision to life was an immense joy. The film is targeted to release in Spring 2023, stars Jason David Frank and Aaron Schoenke, with appearances by Michael Madsen, Mark Dacascos, and David Ramsey.
