My roots are in Kentucky, but most of my life has been spent in Texas, where I went to college and to which I returned in my work journey. Early hobbies were performing magic tricks and building and flying model rockets. I studied philosophy as an undergrad, which sharpened my focus on the significance of words.
Although I didn’t study acting as a young person, I was always drawn to it. I went to a community theater production in high school, had season tickets to the college theater as an undergrad, and ushered at a professional theater in graduate school. Only as a young adult did I start taking acting training, and I eventually tried my hand at community theater, even discovering that I could do well at comedy (who knew?).
