Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Began acting in 1998 after being asked to perform in a training video for the Bucks County District Attorney's Office produced by Susan Bizon of NOVA. Collaborated with John Hunt of Browntown Films to write the screenplay "Pure Life" which is based on some of his true life experiences. Pure Life comes from the Costa Rican saying "Pura Vida". It is a phrase mostly heard in Costa Rica that roughly translates to "enjoy life" or "live life to the fullest." Show less «
