I was born and grew up in Kentucky. My first film was when I was eight years old and I acted in school theatre in high school.  I went to college and then served in the US Air Force for nine years. I have lived around the world and visited 87 countries and territories. I am currently pursuing a degree in film studies and acting.  My other degrees are in history and library technology. I started taking acting classes and acting in film and tv in 2008.

I am best described as a character actor. Fellow actors, acting professors and directors have said that my best roles are as judges, librarians, antiquarian booksellers, teachers, professors, historians, clergy, family doctors, coachs, veterans, politicians, county sheriffs and in historical period pieces. I have appeared in sci-fi, horror, comedy and dramatic films and tv.

I have many life experiences that add to my roles as I was a international travel consultant for fourteen years, I worked fourteen years as a bookseller and supervisor for a now defunct major bookstore chain, I worked in university and public libraries and I was in the military for nine years.

I believe that I have much to offer in the film industry and television and joining the union is the next step to success.
