I'm an actor, comedian, performer, an artist with a flair for the eclectic and extraordinary. I've appeared on productions with several A-list celebrities such as Bruce Willis, Greg Kinnear, Bryan Cranston, William H. Macy, to name a few. I throat sing, conduct an improvising orchestra using physical gestures based on my own created 100-plus hand signal system, create, educate and teach interactiveness within performance art and performance pieces.
