I was introduced to the art of acting in June of 2010. I was attending a family reunion, and that is when I was introduced to gospel Playwright Evelyn Jones Reed. After a lengthy conversation with Mrs. Reed, in which I shared with her my love for spoken word, and the arts, she asked me to come audition for her. Before I knew it, I was on my way to Flagstaff, Arizona, performing in my first stage production, Mrs. Reeds " When Hell is a Place Called Home ". The Play was well received, and I was asked by Mrs. Reed to be in the next production. I immediately fell in love with acting. In Evelyn Jones Reeds " What in Hell Do You Want", I played the role of 5 different characters. From the Preacher in the opening, to the brother of a angry sister with cancer, The production gave me more confidence. I would go on to perform in four more of Evelyn Jones Reeds stage productions. Playing the role of characters from Rev. Ain't Nobody Said Nuthin, in " Seven Women One Man", to Peter, in " Hallelujah He Reigns ". In the summer of 2015, I was cast in my first short film, Maurice Williams " A Second Time Around ". Playing the role Dewayne, a ladies man, but who really can't get over his first wife. I look forward to continue on this journey, and whatever is in store for me. I truly just want to keep learning, and enjoy the ride.
Unique traits: Known to make the people around me laugh, I love life, and I take that love with me no matter where I go.
