I spent 10 years as a professional actor in Broadway musicals, totaling over 2,300 live performances from New York to Las Vegas. I've also released over 4 hours of original music to date. To broaden my impact, I've leveraged my experience to also take on the roles of Broadway investor (Waitress, Hello Dolly, Hairspray), blogger for a professional NYC recording studio, and private acting coach.

I can talk NFL all day: I'm the commissioner of a fantasy football league, and a 3x (and counting...) fantasy champion. I'm also a self-proclaimed connoisseur of coffee, cookies, and pizza.

It has always been my mission to create positive, lasting change in peoples lives; my passion for software stems from its potential as a tool to have that effect.
