Grew up on Long Island New York in a classic suburban neighborhood. Think the film "Stand by Me". One of 5 boys. Lots of freedom, pretty healthy childhood. Loved the arts. Singing first then learned guitar and formed a band. Played all over Long Island. Studied Illustration at SVA in NYC. Became a popular jingle singer and guitar session player.Studied acting with Warren Robertson. Booked quite a few commercials before getting a series regular on HBO's "1st and 10". Moved to Los Angeles and Haven't stopped.
