ABOUT ME

I'm an Actor/Comic/Pedicab Driver who is a modern day renaissance man. I enjoy the finer things in life including viewing films, watching theater and eating at nice restaurants. I also enjoy everyday, ordinary stuff like athletics, particularly tennis, which I have taught and coached. Friends have said I have an acerbic wit and can be very funny. I live in New York City in order to find a career in acting, comedy and show business. There really is no business like show business.

I also am inclined to read and follow world and national events. I have an opinion on many issues. I'm a "people person" for sure.

PHILOSOPHY

Humanist. I believe the human ought to be at the center of our attention. I believe in creating a fair and equal justice system that allows it's citizens to be able to pursue happiness and economic self-sufficiency.
