Good lord, this is a crazy business, and god damn and I having fun with it! My life is crazy, but to give you the gist.. my acting and modeling career started somewhere in 2013/2014 after I approached the only Modeling agency in Milwaukee, WI- Jennifer’s Talent. I walked into their office with photos of me playing pool and doing some other kind of awkward activity LOL. Naturally, they denied me and asked me to come back with professional photos, so I did… from there the rest is history.
I began doing small print work jobs in SE Wisconsin and the greater metro area of Chicago. After several months I joined an improv class to aid my comfort of being in front of a camera. Improv opened up a whole new world to me, creatively, which led to me churning up my first ever stand-up comedy routines at local bars in Milwaukee, WI. This also inspired me to enroll in actual acting classes at the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre.
I fell in quickly in love with performing, modeling, creating scenes, and recreating stories... This was something new and exciting for me. Professional volleyball and bartending had consumed my life up until early 2015, but with a new found love, I made the move to New York City to start my new career in acting and modeling.
As any artist in New York City knows, that move is a leap of faith and one fuckery of a decision- I didn't know what I was in for and I think the element of survival helped aid my ignorance.
The hustle is real and I wouldn't change anything about this career move.
Since 2015 I have been lucky enough to be involved in more than 10 short and indie films, including several lead roles, and network television bookings for CBS’ “BULL.” My time in NYC has also been blessed with three amazing theatrical roles- from Harlem to Philadelphia. In addition, I have seen the stage in sketch comedy projects as well as other improv shows.
Commercially I have been featured in a number of projects for brands like Stella, Harman/Karman (Bose), American Express, Healthcare.gov, NBA G-League, Con-Edison, and several others. In addition, my work in voiceover includes projects for brands like Trojan Condoms and Hugo Boss, as well as some audiobook projects.
Oh, and lets not forget that “Guy on a Buffalo Wing” Super Bowl commercial for Zaxby’s ;)
More recent passions and side projects include loads of photography work- which you can find at www.bkgphotographynyc.com, as well as small music projects and live singing performances.
I am currently represented with VGP Management in NYC for anything film/tv and have fit representation with STATE Management.
