I’m an improvisational actor and stand up comedian born raised and so far living in Cleveland Ohio. In order to broaden my stand up abilities and technical finesse, I took classes at Second City Cleveland. Next thing I knew, my classmates and I had formed Attractive Nuisance, a short lived but sweet little rocking improv troupe which had that certain magic between us. A. N. performed several times in various venues around Cleveland—and we made a bit of money at it. Then most of the players left town.

I love the creative possibilities that you get when you improvise with others that I don’t find in standup, and I love them both. I have been performing with most of the other cast members of Public Squares for about two years, in some one or other configuration, and studied with most of them.

I’ve been a member of The Cleveland Improv Institute conservatory and have studied with among others Mitchell Fields, Nate Cockerill, Cody Dove, and Kif Van Der and I don’t remember ever the rest of his last name but I loved him most of all. I recently played the lead in a short comedy film called “Urgent Care.” Look for it somewhere and I hope to see you at the shows.
