I'm an American actor/devisor and received BFA from the University of Utah’s Actor Training Program. After University I lived in New York City and was a member of the Flea Theatre’s resident acting company: The Bats. While in New York I fostered a love for new work development, working on Serials (a late night episodic new play series) written by up and coming writers each week, the audience was left to vote for what plays they wanted to see a continuation of the following week.
I am a co-founder of devised theatre company WHO’S LOUIS?
When I'm not acting I am usually picking up a new craft including but not limited to; quilting, up-sycling clothing, embroidery, and jewellery making. I have also taken up roller skating and am constantly working on getting
impressively good at the hula hoop.
