After graduating, his artistic pursuits were expanded into to the world of music. As with acting, he loved to perform around Chicago and in an array of musicals. He landed the lead role of Thomas Dorsey in "It Don't Just Shake Off", a musical about the 'father of gospel music'. He garnered positive feedback for the role which launched him into pushing for more challenging roles.
With now having worked in music and acting, momentum began to build- he moved on to polish his skills and enrolled in the famous "The Second City" in Chicago.

He resides in Hollywood, CA and is nothing short of destined for greatness as an Actor, all while enjoying the ride.
