Where do I start? I guess the beginning is always a good place. I was born and raised in rural North Dakota. Okay, maybe we should jump forward a few years. Though I’ve been acting for some time now, it really wasn’t until attending Minot State University (MSU) in the early 90s that I started suspecting that acting was my true calling. After graduating from MSU with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (minors in Music and Communications Arts), I was still unsure of this crazy idea of mine so I continued my training at Western Illinois University (WIU) in pursuit of a Masters of Fine Arts in Acting. Upon completing my training at WIU, my then fiancée and I moved back to North Dakota, got married and settled in for a few years. My professional career has taken me across the Midwest including stints in North Dakota, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and Illinois. I’ve been given the opportunity to play roles in a wide array of shows including The Christmas Schooner (Peter), Children of Eden (Father), The Ceiling (Michelangelo) [world premiere], Man of La Mancha (Don Quixote), Showboat (Ravenal), Forever Plaid (Frankie), Jesus Christ Superstar (Judas), Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? (Eddie), The Baker's Wife (Claude), Into the Woods (Baker & Cinderella’s Prince), Parade (Starnes & Dorsey) [Chicago premiere], Little Shop of Horrors (Dentist), The Baker's Wife (Claude), Hello, Dolly! (Cornelius), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Joseph), Comedy of Errors (Duke), Much Ado About Nothing (Don John), Street Scene (Murrant), Cactus Flower (Julian), Lend Me a Tenor (Max), Our Country’s Good (Ralph), Royal Family (Tony), The Crucible (Paris), Noises Off (Freddie) to name a few.
My wife, DeeAnn, and I relocated to Chicago in 2003 to allow me the opportunity to more aggressively pursue my acting career. Without her love and support, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. In fact, DeeAnn designed this great looking website for me. She's also a very talented artist in her own right with a great looking website: www.artbydeeann.com. Thanks, Dee. You're the best. If you have a project you think I’d be a good candidate for, get in touch with me. I’d be happy to hear from you.
