I’m an actor and musician, a past European traveler, a present US nomad. I spend my months in different places (mostly along the east coast, apparently) depending on where my next acting contract takes me. I’m from Kentucky and got a dual degree in political science and psychology from UK, and then I graduated and immediately went head first into acting. I’m also a singer-songwriter who writes and plays my own songs at open mics and such events. I’ve made three albums on Spotify and bandcamp and such but it’s really not as fancy as it sounds. Theatre and music are my whole life, luckily enough. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in North Carolina, Florida, and NY/NJ.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a solo backpacking trip around Europe, 12 countries in 26 days, and it was the most exhausting and beautiful experience of my life. I was only 20 and so new to the world, but I took in as much as my young brain could fathom and I came out the other side with gratitude. I slept in airports, dodged transit police, played the piano with strangers in train stations, carried bread and cheese around town for lunch (on several occasions), cried at the Van Gogh museum. The usual.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share great stories of my travels and the music that I listen to and write. I would love to learn about the city from the perspective of a local and see what they love about where they live. And in turn, I can show you my own city and my own life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you all about my journey as an actor, or about my time abroad. I can play five instruments or share anything about my music. I can also cook a killer Mac and cheese.
