After college, he continued his stage experience in Chicago theatres, and started exploring roles in film projects. He continued exploring film in Los Angeles, where he has landed roles in many independent films such as SOCKET, 3-DAY WEEKEND, and MAKE THE YULETIDE GAY, which won him The People’s Choice Award at San Diego Film Fest.
