I am interested in lifelong student-hood, student-ship, and student-ness (all-inclusively ;) ). I am a student of philosophy, dry and wet media, photography, and music. I am interesting in exploring the depths of human understanding while expressing life in all of its plurality. I am interested in capturing all of the beauty this world has to offer. I sing and play guitar, brass, and all the sax-family with proficiency, with basic ability in piano and strings. I have been in the musical theatre productions "Grease" (as Roger- clown of the T-Birds) and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" (as Joseph's brother Gad, and as the Butler) and Surrender (as the lead Patrick- a lost youth who is torn within his romantic and spiritual relationships). I played Teddy in Samuel French's Every Little Crook and Nanny, and also enjoyed many monologual and/or one-act roles. I just recently completed my role as Zig in "Mic Unplugged", 'a Canadian 80's puck-rock nostolgia meets its minimalistic future counterpoint' kind of piece.
