Current Happenings
Happy 2018 Everyone! I welcome you and thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit more about me!
This year promises to be a GREAT one and I choose to be motivated and inspired by 4 words that have crossed my path in a significantly fantastic way. I am committed to starting each day with these words emblazoned in my mind's eye! Please, if you feel they resonate, I gladly share them with you! INTEGRITY - IMPECCABILITY - INTROSPECTION - TRANSFORMATION !
I am currently in Los Angeles (on hiatus from nyc). I am PROUD to announce that I have joined forces with MadCatch Entertainment, my new management company! Robin McWilliams is the BEST in the biz and I look forward to the magic we are going to create! Having closed the "Ovation Award" nominated 'Recorded In Hollywood,' at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, to rave reviews, I am currently anticipating the release of the short film 'The Bride' where I play a "groom on the run" & also FINGER CROSSED for season 2 of the web series entilted "Black Girl In A Big Dress" where I break hearts and darn 1800's garb. Things are moving right along and I will have more updates for you VERY soon! Make sure to browse below to catch up on anything you may have missed...
. . . 2017 & prior . . .
COME CHECK OUT - www.recordedinhollywood.com -for info about the future of 'Recorded In Hollywood!'
I'm thrilled to announce that I have just signed with a new bi-coastal agent, DANIEL HOFF AGENCY, INC!! Having only been with them less than a month I just booked BING CROSBY in Riverside Theatre's "Swinging On A Star!" If you find yourself in Vero Beach, FL Oct. 27 - Nov. 15, COME SEE ME!
2015's motto is GO BIG OR GO HOME! Previously they've been JUST SHOW UP & TAKE THE PLUNGE, but this year I find myself even more inspired to take BIG risks...and, if I fall on my face I learn from it and move onto the next!!! So here's to this fresh new year, may we ALL be inspired to GO BIG!!!
In case you missed it this past holiday season... check me out on the cover of 'Jingle Bell Bride,' the romance novel cover I shot last year!
Visit my modeling portfolio above for a glance :)
The past three and a half years have been quite a roller coaster and the reason why you have not heard much from me is because on April 18, 2011 my mother suddenly passed away from lung cancer. It all happened within 8 days and we had no signs or clues to help soften the blow. Since then my life has been turned upside down as you can imagine. In spite of this horrible loss I will say that my mother continues to be with me every day and she has actually been quite present in my life, which I hope only strengthens as time goes by!
Since my mother's passing I have created a foundation called The Wishing Kids Foundation (TWKF), to help raise money for families and individuals fighting Cancer and terminal illness. Paying it forward is the best way I knew how to cope with such a loss!
Please visit www.thewishingkidsfoundation.org or peruse my Wishing Kids page above to learn more about this wonderful cause and how you can help!
As it always tends to happen, out of tragedy comes opportunity just when you least expect it! Even though my voice had "stopped working" and I was putting all of my attention into starting a non for profit from the ground up, including organizing an inaugural benefit and raising money for my cause, opportunity knocked. Just when I thought I had nothing to over creatively, or otherwise, I was gifted the chance to play Princeton in Avenue Q out in Santa Barbara, CA, a town I am very familiar with! Quite a full circle moment for me, since I was originally called back 7 times for Avenue Q on Broadway... but who's counting? I finally got to play him and IT WAS A BLAST! Check out my photos above!
Also, speaking of the inaugural benefit for TWKF, 'In Full Bloom' at Birdland was a HUGE SUCCESS and a great jumping off point! Again, be sure to check out www.thewishingkidsfoundation.org for more details!
The Wishing Kids Foundation is proud to announce that we have partnered with The Episcopal Actors' Guild and have donated $10,000!! A HUGE thank you to Joseph Mesiano & Karen A. Lehman for making this possible! This money will provide help & support to many more individuals and families fighting terminal illness and thanks to The Episcopal Actors' Guild, my Mother's legacy grows even stronger!
Stop back by for more updates soon, as this is a new site and there will be lots of little changes here and there!

Thanks for stopping in and showing your love and support!!!
