I grew up in rural Minnesota and spent the majority of my time outdoors fishing, hunting, and playing competitive sports. My first experience acting came during my senior year at Shattuck-St. Mary’s in the play “It’s A Wonderful Life.” While in college I continued to act in productions at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota, not the Virgin Islands) and in local professional theater. After receiving my degree in Marketing I packed up the car and moved to Los Angeles.

My first on-camera break came starring opposite Ed O’Neil as the lead in the film “Steel Valley”. Since then, I have appeared in numerous television series, films and national commercials, including the CBS comedy “Friend Me,” “Castle” (ABC), “CSI: Miami” (CBS) and a Miller Lite campaign. Most recently I played the role of “Ed” in the horror/thriller feature film “POD” which premiered at SXSW and will be in theaters and on VOD Aug. 28. I can also be seen in Ritual, and Clara Mamet’s feature film debut “Two Bit Waltz” which is currently out on DVD. See IMDB for more.

I am heavily involved with local nonprofits. Currently I am working with PATH, a tremendous organization dedicated to ending homelessness for families, individuals and communities throughout California. You can learn more about PATH at www.epath.org or on FaceBook at www.facebook/PATH.LA
