Having received four years of training at East 15 Acting School, I've been provided with a wide range of multicultural skills to find my way through an ever-expanding and challenging industry.
Performers need to be flexible and durable in the current working climate. When there is no work available, sometimes the simple solution is to create our own theatre.
The performer must not rest on their laurels. They must create.
Therefore, I've become a Theatre-Maker. I can perform, meanwhile I also have the ability to generate my own work through devising and directing.
I am also a Wordsmith working within a wide range of mediums including my own books, short-stories and scripts.

- Dead Dreams220 page long novella. Currently available on Lulu.com, Amazon and Barnes & Noble. February 2012 - July 2014 Lost and alone in the sinking sands of the Desert, a man must find himself again. As he gazes out at the endless dunes, he remembers nothing at all. His mind is a canvas that has been wiped clean. The journey he takes will not only span the breadth of the Desert, but the entire depth of his life. From his greatest achievement to his heaviest flaws, he will search for the truth about himself, finding great physical and emotional pain but also immense happiness and relief.
