Bio

He graduated from CUNY Lehman College in the Bronx with a BA in Theatre Arts and a Minor in Journalism & Creative Writing.

My approach

As a seasoned theatre artist and passionate communicator, I am dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of the arts through writing. With extensive experience on and off the stage, my mission is to enrich, inspire, and engage audiences by bringing the vibrancy of theatrical arts into the realm of print. My commitment lies in creating insightful, compelling content that bridges the gap between the dynamic world of live performances and the thoughtful reflection offered by written media. Through my writing, I aim to spotlight the profound impact of the arts and foster a deeper appreciation for it’s role in shaping culture and society in Phoenix.
