I'm originally from Erie, Pennsylvania, and raised in North Warren, Pennsylvania, I discovered my passion for service and storytelling at an early age. Beginning my career as a dedicated first responder, I joined the Lake Shore Volunteer Fire Department at just 17 years old, later becoming an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) at age 18. My commitment to emergency services led me to Emergycare, Inc. in 1994, where I served as a paramedic in the City of Erie, PA for over two decades, providing crucial medical care in my community.
After retiring from EMS in 2014, I embarked on a new chapter, moving to Florida with my beloved Golden Retriever, Natalie Anne. Natalie's passing in 2018 deeply impacted me, motivating me to find solace and purpose with another Golden Retriever companion, Penelope Anne, in 2019. Together, Penelope and I embarked on a transformative cross-country journey spanning several years that ignited our shared love for storytelling.
My start into the entertainment industry began when Penelope was cast in a television series, sparking my interest in acting and production. Drawing from my real-life experiences, I quickly transitioned into acting and producing.
Penelope, with her own budding career, has a few commercials and a movie under her collar. She too is involved in the development of additional film projects and also a children's book series about her adventures across the United States.
Driven by a desire to authentically represent emergency medical and trauma scenarios on screen I developed an innovative consulting program that ensures on-screen depictions resonate realistically with audiences while prioritizing safety and accuracy.
With a growing portfolio of 12 film projects under my belt, I continue to make waves in the industry. My unique blend of real-world experience, creativity, and commitment to authenticity sets me apart as a versatile actor and advocate for accurate storytelling in film and television
