About Me
I was born and raised the eldest of four in "the heart of it all" - Columbus, Ohio. After graduating from Hocking College with an Associate Degree in Music Management & Production at 17 years old, and later graduating from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Specialized Studies in Theatre & Film at 19 years old, I quickly began performing professionally. I am trained in singing, acting, sketch comedy, percussion, and some dance, though my true passion lies in my voice. I'm a classically trained vocalist with a four-octave range, and I have specialized coaching in musical theatre, rock & roll, and southern rock / country.
For the past five years, I have been a company member of Shadowbox Live - America's largest resident theatre ensemble - in Columbus, Ohio, where I've been featured in 1,000+ performances, specializing in sketch comedy and musical productions that span variety of genres. Apart from my constant participation in the theatre's sketch comedy and theatrical works, I regularly perform as a resident lead vocalist at Shadowbox, fronting their six-piece house band. Outside of the theatre, I also freelance in an intimate acoustic duo with Chaz Mechenbier, as well as solo.
Each unique setting, from the Shadowbox stage, to golf courses, restaurants, bars, festivals, and beyond, lets me showcase different facets of my artistry, whether commanding the energy of a full ensemble, or creating a close connection in a smaller format. My diverse theatrical and freelance work has taken me to some wonderfully historic theatres in New York City, as well as to the 2025 Memorial Tournament, the White House, Carnegie Hall, Russia, Latvia, and soon Sweden, feeding my love of travel.
My repertoire spans musical theatre standards and sultry lounge numbers, high-octane 80s hits, soulful rock ballads, and gritty southern rock anthems. I pride myself on bringing emotional depth, stylistic flexibility, and a commanding stage presence to every song, whether it be live performance or studio recordings, always utilizing my red-haired flair.
