Friendly Neighborhood Florida Man
I'm a Disabled U. S. Air Force Veteran and small business owner living in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm continually publishing new books while pursuing a career as a working actor. I love the multifaceted art of storytelling and spreading narratives that connect with people.
I grew up as the oldest of four boys in a Navy household born and raised in Florida with a detour in Rota, Spain when I was a toddler. Spanish is my first language. I primarily grew up around Tampa, Florida. At 18 years old I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and spent 7 years on active duty as an Avionics Aircraft Mechanic on C-130's with Air Force Special Operations Command. During my time stationed in Okinawa, Japan I learned Japanese, started acting and modeling.
My first venture into acting was a Star Wars Noir Short Film, Night Errant, Directed by Donte Larry. I fell in love with acting working on this short. My theatrical debut was Much Ado About Nothing with the Pacific Okinawan Players as Borachio. I also published my first 3 books while still on active duty.
​
A month after leaving active duty I started classes at Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. I graduated from S.C.A.D. with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performing Arts. While earning my degree I started doing Stand-up comedy, primarily at Totally Awesome Bar in Savannah. During that time I also published another 5 books, performed with Dinner Detective Savannah, and started selling my books and artwork at Comic Cons and other conventions.
​
When I'm not performing, writing, or painting I can often be found working in my garden, working out, traveling, or hiking.
