Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Discovered acting as a child in grade school plays and became avid watcher of the Late show and Late, Late show attributing this to his high absenteeism from school. Put acting on hold to hang around streets returning to it seriously in his early twenties. Attended high school only a few months before quitting to join street gang. After successfully achieving adulthood went on to attend college at MacMurray College then DePaul University years later. An avid reader and writer also works with "at risk kids" and teens. Often plays gritty, tough street characters as well as street guy with a heart. Heroes include St. Francis of Assisi, Robery DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Charles Bronson, Michael Madsen, Ron Dean and any kid who makes it. Currently living and working in Los Angeles.
