Who am I?
I guess I would call myself an actor, singer and music writer. That is, I'm
trying to find a way to get paid enough for acting, singing and music
writing that I don't have to do anything else.
I live in Astoria, NY (a place in Queens 15 minutes from Times Square).
I've been in "the city" for five years now. I grew up in small town
Vermont and always dreamed of acting on Broadway. I listened to cast
albums constantly and did the school play and community theater. (My
friends and family are bewildered I didn't turn out to be gay)
A did a four-year detour through the opera world getting a degree in
voice at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY before arriving in
New York City with big dreams and big loans in September, 2002.
Six years later, I've worked a bit (a tour here, a reading there) and now
happily can afford name-brand groceries.
Ever Since High School I've had the hobby of writing music. I never took
it that seriously (especially when living in the uber-serious Eastman
world) but as the years have gone by, writing become more and more
important to me. Today I write almost every day and am working on
several new musicals.
Personally, I'm a sports fanatic (Go Giants!) a certified computer geek
(with retainer) and I'm not ashamed to admit I still collect football cards
(Phil Simms - who?) and an occasional comic book (GI JOE - probably the
worst comic from the 80's, but hey. You can't always choose who you
love). I also do web design, nature photography, recording (thanks to my
brother teaching me how and getting me the equipment) and I collect
signed Broadway posters.
