What hood are you in?
I am in the Calgary hood! NW right now but we bounce around dog-sitting. In a short while we’ll be in the Rosebud hood! Though I still feel comfortable in the Regina hood. I’ve lived in Dalhousie, Beddington, 14th ave, Royal Oak. It’s always really fun to explore a new area of the city, they’re all so different!
What do you do?
I do a lot of things! I enjoy reading and listening to audiobooks, especially anything science fiction. Mountain biking is a big part of my life and has been for some time. I enjoy biking to commute and for pleasure. I play a lot of video games, but I’ll never skip out on a chance to hit the ODR with some good mates. For work, I’m an actor. I work with a director to bring a scripted character to life. I offer myself and my body to the story, hopefully finding a wider truth and sense of connection.
What are you currently working on?
I was working on Men Express Their Feelings with Downstage Theatre! It’s been a lot of fun and a great growth experience for me. Come and check us out! I’m also in talks with a good friend of mine about voice acting for a really cool indigenous graphic novel.
Where can we find your work?
You can find my work on stages across Calgary! Stay tuned! You can catch some bass playing on my wife’s album.
