I was very excited to be playing Gawain in Secret Handshake’s “Mordred” a retelling of the Arthurian myth from Mordred’s perspective. It turned out amazing and Elliott (the man at the helm of the company) has done some amazing work with this one! Also awesome job to Jake Badovski for all the promotional images (including the one above), he is a photography wizard!

A huge thanks to my agents at Agency Models and Talent for these spokes roles at Best Buy! The team is always great, and they’re always laid back fun shoots! Can’t wait to share the finished product!
I’m so excited to say that today I worked a Co-Star role on Chicago Med, my first television credit! (didn’t realize that those roles come with a trailer!) Huge thanks to my agents at Lori Lins LTD for booking this one, and hopefully many more to come! Can’t wait to share when it airs!
I forgot to mention it at the time, but I was in another podcast! This time my friend and yours Eliiot Brotherhood of Secret Handshake Productions asked me to play Gawain in SHP's "Mordred". This original adaptation of Arthurian legend tells the untold story of King Arthur's only son.....
It will be releasing on October 25th across multiple platforms, and features an absolutely A-list cast of voice talent!

I got in the VO booth with a little twist: also doing some facial performance capture (on an iPhone, the future is nuts) Best part is, it's for another Joshua Toonen short, this time set in the Aliens universe. I worked with josh on his short "Stay) back in 2020 and it was one of the most rewarding projects I've been a part of. Josh is seriously great at what he does and an amazing collaborator. Looking forward to updating everyone as this one moves along!

The boys got together to shoot a quick promo for Farmers Alley Theatre! This is going to be a good one, and you've never seen Jersey Boys in such an intimate setting! Such a different experience. This cast has been fantastic and I'm excited to show you all what I've been working on!

Did a very fun hair model job for Paul Mitchel today, and I literally just had to sit there smiling while they painted my head in front of a crowd! It was a new one for me and very fun. Also now I'm a beautiful brunette for Jersey Boys!
I have been neglecting posting this, but I will be going to Michigan for a few months! I will be playing Nick Massi in Farmers Alley Theatre's production of Jersey Boys! Ever since I saw the tour of this show in 2010(?) I thought Nick would be a great role for me, and I'm very excited to test that theory!
Should you find yourself near Kalamazoo September 16-October 6, come see me!

Had a blast doing a quick informative supplement shoot with Suzi Lindner of sincerely video! I joined this team about a year ago, and was so pleased to get to do another shoot with Suzi! For any studio, video, or even actor needs contact sincerely video!
Very excited that The Last Rung on the Ladder has been making it into so many festivals! Even more excited to share that the film won “Best Alternate Reality Film” at the 2024 MLC Awards! It was also nominated for Best Midwest Made Film, Best Coloring in a Film, and my cast mate Brian Belz was nominated for Best Acting!
The film will also be showing in the Madison Film Festival on August 24th in Madison Wi, Random Acts of Drama in Chicago on September 5th, and at the Sawdust festival in Oshkosh Wi on October 12th. Go check it out, we’re real proud of it!
The work is never done! We wanted to get just a couple more b-roll type shots for a montage in Dollar Store Killers, so we came to my humble little studio room to grab them. We also walked around my neighbor hood with a camera and microphone for some outdoor shots and it was funny watching people act like we were a news crew. Remember if anyone ever asks, it’s always a mayonnaise commercial.
Look for The Dollar Store Killers on frightpix soon!
I’m gonna miss both really bringing it with the cast and crew, but also the silly times like these. The Dollar Store Killers will be streaming soon, and I’d like to give a huge thank you to my director Zachary C. Braddy for trusting me, and my fellow cast mates Frankie Brett and Amelia Mahrie for supporting me.
Please give them all a follow.

Don’t let these smiles fool you, this is serious stuff! So happy to see my cast again and continue shooting the feature The Dollar Store Killers! Streaming soon!
Drove to Illinois for a shoot with Shure audio. I remember using their mics in my college acappella group and loving what they could put out and was super psyched to find out the “audio brand” I would be working with was them! Keep an eye out for this mug (or hands) on their materials!
Filming for The Dollar Store Killers had to be delayed because SoMEoNe (it was me) had to get Covid. Needless to say I was so happy to be back at it recording some voice over and talking head type shots. I included some stills from DP Xavier Schaetzke, they really speak for themselves! Him and the rest of the crew are making this project look stunning!

So, my friend Barry, who I sang with in my college Acappella days, just covered Suffering and Different Beast from The Thunder Saga, and man is he just an incredible talent! (and one of the hardest working guys I know). The track features Loganne (who I don’t know BUT WISH I DID!) and myself a little bit on the chorus of Different Beast!

A great day shooting medical videos for Flex Acuity in Madison Wisconsin! (I wasn’t upset I was the one pushing the bed instead of riding…..)Thanks to my agents at Heyman Talent for booking this one!
Welp. Cast caught me sleeping. In my defense it was a long weekend and I was sleeping on a tiny bunk every night…..but I was awake when they called action! What a blast of a weekend! You all will not believe what we managed to do with such a small, mighty crew!
I’ve never looked better. Dollar Store Killers day two is in full swing! Thanks to my cast members Frankie Brett and Amelia Mahrie for keeping things so light and fun with such a heavy script!
This is a new one for me! Filming a feature film with scenes in a cave! Eagle Cave, Wisconsin to be exact. I’m very excited about this one “ The Dollar Store Killers”. This cast is SO GOOD! I can’t believe I get to act with them! This is just the first day of a three day shoot at this location. Looking forward to sharing more as the shoot progresses!
Had a very fun time on this shoot, and got to discover a new restaurant with AMAZING food! If you’re in Milwaukee you should absolutely check out Mason Street Grill!
What a wonderfully busy week! My third shoot takes me to Skokie Illinois for Canon industrial shoot. I love whenever I get to do these prompter spokesman shoots, they’re so much fun! Thanks to the folks at Street Level Studio and of course my agents at Lori Lins LTD for booking!
Update! Apparently this video won a Gold dotComm award! That’s pretty cool!

So grateful to my agents at Milwaukee/Chicago Talent Network for booking me last minute (literally the night before the shoot) for this industrial shoot for Quad Graphics. If it wasn’t for them I never would have met my friend the swan! (Note: this is a very one sided friendship)
Shot a commercial spot for the in sink disposal company Insinkerator and had a blast with my screen family! The worst part of a shoot like this? The sink gets to eat more than me!
Renaissance Theaterworks is a company I’ve admired and wanted to work with for a number of years. So, I was so thrilled to be given the opportunity to perform in this years Br!nk New Play Festival. The piece was Black Bear Island by Karissa Murrel Myers and man….you had to be there. I would be a part of this play again in a heartbeat! Funny, scary, moving, and quirky, it really had it all. As and added bonus, I got to work with director Jess Yates again!

It was such a smooth easy shoot I had time to go for a hike afterwards! (It wasn’t that I just forgot to document my job again….) In all seriousness thanks to the folks at Kolosso Toyota, as well as my agent at The Belle Agency!
Shot a quick Memorial Day spot for Vyper Chair, a local Wisconsin company that sells high quality shop chairs and equipment. The crew was professional and my co-talent was phenomenal…..but that crafty…..that was legendary.
