The San Diego Years

I was a late bloomer when I discovered a passion for acting. I'd already graduated from San Diego State and had a steady job as a designer when I found I still needed another outlet for my creativity. I didn't know it would be acting until I decided on taking some acting classes offered at a local junior college…

…and the rest is history.

Here's where it all started tho', at local theatres around San Diego County. I later moved to the LA area to take a job offer there (to design toys!) and got cast in two more shows around the Valley before taking a little break from theatre.
