I was raised in Bristol Vermont, and spent much of my youth on the stage of a 100 year old town hall theater. I followed that passion at Castletown University (formally State), where I graduated with a Liberal Arts Degree in Performance, with a minor in Art History.

Directly follow graduation, I moved West to Portland in 2000, where I worked as a performer and arts educator at the Nort- West Children's Theater. I also was a member of defunkt theater for 3+ years culminating in a "drammy" for best Portland actor in 2003.

I went on to work at The Portland Children's Museum as The Director of Membership and Earned Income, where I worked closely with the Center for Children's Learning and The Opal School.

I live on Campus with my wife Colesie Tharp, my three children, and our two cats where I am also the Assistant Director of Residential Life. I enjoy cooking, bowling, reading, and sharing laughs with friends.
