About Me
Welcome to my world!
I am a classically trained, American stage and screen actor.
For 32 years, I served as a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (and its predecessor). I think that qualifies me for doing standup and improv for over three decades. I have lived on two continents and an island nation. Married since the last days of the 70s, with two grown children and a burgeoning supply of grandkids, having also worked in restaurants, county parks, a sale barn, a bible camp, and as a fine art photographer; I bring a lot of experience to every role I play.
Now focused full time on my acting career, I feel good! As you can see below, my résumé is growing nicely with some interesting projects and great roles.
For a sampling, my reel is just below. Other clips, photos, and links follow it.
My agent is Linda McAlister Talent. But, feel free to drop me a line using the form at the bottom!
Peace!
