Performing Arts Lessons in Newfield, NY. It's your time.

Film and TV Acting. Learn on-camera techniques. Script analysis.

I have been an actor and director for over 20 years in a number of markets, including Seattle, Austin and Los Angeles. I am currently repped by Heyman Talent Agency in Columbus, OH.

I have coached actors and those who want to become actors for 15 years. I help you develop your potential into something tangible through learning about your dreams and goals. I tailor my style to each individual, to help them achieve the heights they want to reach as a performing artist.

I have trained L.A. actors, Ohio prison actors, comedians, musicians, juveniles, groups of actors, individuals and folks who have never taken an acting class before. I use a combination of recognized acting methods in tandem with the artforms that move you, to help you develop your own unique style.

I can teach just as easily online as I can in person. I can come to you, or we can work together with an ocean between us!
