I was born August 5, 1982 and grew up in Times Square, Pasadena, and San Francisco. Unlike most I only went to school until I was 16; I left early to join the Marine Corps when I was 18. I was honorably discharged after 4 years, toured for two years over seas in Japan as well as Iraq. I come armed with a not so normal acting background being trained and efficient in military profiling, hand to hand combat, jungle and urban warfare, tactical movements of attack and defense in convoy or on foot, weapons training, grenade positioning, land navigation, leadership psychology in garrison and field positions, elder and founder of the blue oyster tribe(combat efficient), licensed truck driver for the 7-ton, 5-ton, Humvee 21/4-ton and 11/4-ton, acting corpsman and first responder, marine corps martial arts tan belt, artillery and land support. ...and scars to prove it all.
As for the present, I'm 23yrs of age and only happy when I'm doing business…and being creative is my business.
So, for my first professional acting experience…the family structure in the SSAC matches only that of a band of brothers. Before our performance, we laughed with each other until the guns went off and the war began. The cast got into a circle and bounced together while Nick freestyled the rhythm. This was a turning point of support, going from friends to family. We were all going out there together, all for one and one for all, through the fog of war we laughed, and purely by luck did any of us not fall. We were comforted by the knowledge that if we did, our family would pick us up, and keep the ball rollin'. Never was there a more safe feeling in a more vulnerable moment, cause the family was there to do business.
