He has participated in community theatre productions with Aethereal Jest, MadLab, and Columbus Children’s Theatre. He has also been involved in a few productions at OSU. His theatrical credits go beyond acting into the directing, stage managing, and playwriting realms. He has experience with film and screenwriting, too.
