Fun facts: I'm a...

I enjoy learning about almost anything. When I find a new interest I often dive in and learn as much about it as I can. Hobbies to date include:
‍
• Woodworking
• Collecting and repairing typewriters
• YouTuber (I review and build mechanical keyboards)
• Leathercraft
• Learning French and Japanese

Not only do I have a bachelor's degree in theatre, but I continue to do community theatre on the side. I've done Shakespeare, musicals, and all things in between. My favorite roles include

• Romeo in Romeo and Juliet
• Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock Holmes & TheWest End Horror
• CK Dexter Haven in The Philadelphia Story
• Frank Churchill in Emma
• Jimmy Winter in Oh Kay!

Between 2009-2015 I was a combat medic in the United States Army. I joined to help people. I deployed to Iraq in 2010 to help teach their army and police forces basic life saving techniques and combat medicine.

In this picture, I am sitting on Saddam Hussein's throne. Not a lot of people get to say that.

When I returned from deployment I was stationed at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital where I was a perioperative nurse and eventually led the Endocrinology, Rheumatology, and Infectious Disease clinics.
