An avid fan of TV & Film all of his life, when meeting actors & actresses & artist's that inspired him, his main objective is to let them know after getting to meet & talk to Whitney Houston on the set of Sparkle.

Landed his 1st TV role in the sketch "Front Hand/Back Hand" on the critically acclaimed Emmy Winning Comedy Central Series "Key&Peele" After meeting Keegan Michael Key and having a conversation with him and half jokingly asking him if he could be on the show.
