His interest in theatre and film started in high school when he was cast in various roles in productions such as Guys and Dolls, The Wizard of Oz, and Shrek the Musical. In 2014 he co-starred in the movie The Town Inside with veteran actor Gregory Alan Williams and caught the "director's bug" while working on the project. In 2015 he began writing and producing his own short films, focusing on horror and science fiction. He will pursue his passion this fall as a freshman at Lynn University where he is majoring in film and cinematography. Caution: Spikes is his first film festival entry.
