Whitehall-Coplay HS
Performing Artist

All of my life I’ve been surrounded by music, but I first started acting in eighth grade in our annual play.  Once I hit high school I really found my place.  I played Chuck Cranston in “Footloose”, Utah in “Over Here!” and P.T. Barnum in “Barnum”. I was nominated for a Freddy Award for my performance as Utah and received the Freddy Award for Outstanding Actor in a Leading Role for Barnum.

In the past year I participated in the PMEA District 10 and Regional V Chorus Festivals and the ACDA All-Eastern Chorus Festival in New York City.  I play guitar and compose my own original music and recently recorded a demo CD of my work.
