I have been acting and directing for nearly  20 years.  I studied film and stage acting, directing and stage combat at Columbia College and Improvisational Theatre at The Second City in Chicago.  I have classic features which lend themselves well to period projects.  I am able to work easily in Michigan, Chicago, and Lexington, KY.
