FILM & TELEVISION
ACTOR | WRITER | DIRECTOR
While I have primarily been working as a full-time professional voice actor, musician and audio guru for the last decade, on-camera acting, writing and directing have also had their moments, and look to be even bigger fixtures in the future.
My main writing and directing efforts have been in the music video space, with some new ventures into narrative forthcoming.
ACTING REEL
As an on-camera actor, I’ve been in commercials, shorts, music videos, and TV shows. I’ve loved performing since I was a child, and got my start in musicals! Have a look at my reel below.

THEATRICAL REEL
ROLES: Coked-out Wall Street bro | Sage & friendly bartender | Angry tech CEO | Disenchanted dad
FULL SCENES
My acting “archetype” is more that of a gentle giant, or guy-next-door, but given I’m 6’3″ and a former football player, I’m equally well suited to more intimidating roles. Have a look for yourself.

HEADSHOTS
CHARACTER ACTOR & ACCENT KING
Authentic accents are a strength of mine. If you need an actor who can perform accurate, real accents consistently and maintain the accent throughout takes, you’ve come to the right place! Scottish, German, Irish, Cockney, Manchester, RP British, French, Spanish, Southern US, Midwest US, Scandinavian, Australian, New Zealand, Russian and more are all in my wheelhouse. Have a listen to some of my voiceover spots in the accents department to get a sense of what I can offer.
VISION, PRAGMATISM, CONFIDENCE, DIRECTION
As a writer/director, nothing is more important than having a vision, conviction and pragmatism. I have always prided myself on having a very clear idea of what I want, a belief that I can do it, and a realistic goal of getting their within constraints.
PROFESSIONALISM AT ITS FINEST
The world of creatives can sometimes be a tricky world to navigate. Some of the most creative people aren’t always the most professional, and similarly, some of the most professional aren’t the most creative. I pride myself in offering both. A true creative professional, with fresh, unique ideas, and sense of respect and professionalism for both clients and crew alike. We all just want to create amazing art, and the best way to do that is when everyone works amicably and collaboratively.
A DIRECTOR FOR NARRATIVE & VOICEOVER
Being a director for narrative requires many things, but the ingredient that is most crucial is empathy. Empathy will allow a director to understand characters. It will allow a director to see different points of view, thus understanding why the differing views result in conflict and drama. Without empathy, and understanding, how can someone understand the emotions or stakes of a scene or story? Empathy is the key, and it’s something I have always had in abundance. I care deeply for people and the emotions that come from different situations we experience in life. I pour all of it into my art.
