I spent my early childhood in southern Germany and North Carolina. My family finally settled in picturesque Cedarburg, Wisconsin. I enjoyed reading and wandering through the woods then, and I still do today.

When I went off to the Chicago area for college, I learned darkroom photography and was engaged in the theater. This led to further graduate studies in theater in Providence, Rhode Island. But first, I spent some time being mentored by a photographer in New York City, and assistant to the cinematographer on an independent film in Brooklyn.

After graduate school, I moved to New York City as a represented actor. I auditioned for exciting projects, and collaborated as an actor with young writers and directors in higher education.

In 2018, after having worked in the city as a filmmaker, actor, story consultant, and photographer, I put my expertise into a personal project. Together with a creative partner, we launched Love in NY Series, which I remained a part of through 100+ episodes. Episodes from the series have garnered short film festival recognition and awards (Official Selection of 9 Film Festivals. 3 Festival Awards “Best family/children’s 1 Minute Movie” and “Best Romance/Romanic Comedy”, and “Honorable Mention”).

Around this time, I continued my work as a story consultant— now for an established screenwriter with sales to Amblin Partners and 20th Century Fox.

Additionally, I have appeared as guest artist/lecturer at Vassar College, and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

In the summer of 2020, I returned to the Midwest where I have been working on new creative projects and teaching.
