College

At the end of my senior year I decided I would leave home for North Carolina and East Carolina University as a candidate for their Acting Program. I had never truly felt at home in Virginia and hoped for a new start in NC. Assuming college would be just like arts school I threw myself into work and was very involved behind the scenes throughout my freshman year in all the shows on the main stage. I started my sophomore year with a lead role (Alan in Picnic). School and my studies went well but I began to feel a yearning for New York and the real world. My family at this time moved from Virginia to New York and I almost decided to join them, but realizing I had less then 2 years left I decided to finish school at ECU. A year and a half later I stood on the mainstage performing my final piece, a practicum entitled "Empty Chairs." It was time for me to make my move to New York.
