Because of his focus and commitment, he was introduced to the stage where he was able to lead one of the schools productions "Still Life" by Emily Mann. Since his 2015 graduation his development as an actor came from life and intentional studies in the Atlanta acting community. His most notable roles has come from the Fox Series "Will Trent" as Officer worth and Michael from the recent romantic comedy "The Comeback" lead by Taye Diggs.
