Professional background

Despite holding an MFA in Music/Sound from Bard, I am an untrained actor. A decade of music, building sculptural instruments, and involvement in experimental theatre and harsh noise informs my acting method. I excel at taking direction and nuanced notes. A chance meeting with Richard Maxwell at an all-night NYC diner landed me the lead in his 'The Evening'. After an 18 month rehearsal we toured America and Europe for three years.
