I have always had a passion for storytelling. This passion came with my love for entertainment, having fallen in love with different films and television shows from a very young age - shoutout to the Country Bears! As a kid, I would perform one-man shows for my family. This ranged from Shakespeare to the 'Inception' movie trailer. With this passion came my desire to become... you guessed it, an actor. I went to acting camp during the summer going into fourth grade and discovered quite quickly that acting wasn't for me. With this realization killing any and all future plans I had to make it in Hollywood, I was met face to face with Shawn Levy.

​

I recognized him the instant I saw him as he came to pick up his daughters from the camp. He was filming 'Real Steel' at the time, his IMDb profile photo shining bright in my mind. There was no doubt it was him. I went up to him, shook his hand, and told him that I was a big fan of his movie 'Date Night.' He smiled, thanked me, wished me luck, and went on his way. It was from that moment I knew what I wanted to be: a storyteller. But where did I start? Well, I didn't have to wait long. Shortly after that experience, my parents gifted me a Flip camcorder for my birthday.

​

The rest is history.
