Being an artist is:  challenging, liberating, difficult, rewarding, and inspiring.  There is always a new discovery down every journey's path.   I think that's what hooked me when I was three years old.  My inquisitive nature knew that, in being an artist, my thirst for learning had found a well that would never run dry.  Being an actor and playwright has brought me into contact with so many diverse people, thoughts, and ways of life that I am humbled each time I am involved in a new project.  I remain a student of people, relationships, communication, of life itself and for that I am grateful.  The more I feed my art, the more it feeds me and it is my responsibility to share what I learn as I grow.  I am reaching beyond my comfort zone to live my life with passion, humor and awe and, in the process, imbue others with the courage and strength to live their own dreams.
