I've worked at an amusement park, a funeral home, a gas station, in a comedy troup (award: Best use of a flying trumpet), a teacher, in the theatre, and lots o' restaurants. For the past few years, I've been doing product demonstrations/pitches like the shamwow guy in department stores.
I started getting into acting when i was 16 upon decided that Jean-Claude Van Damme was god's gift to the action movie. I used to live in Chicago, but left to work in France for awhile and learn the language. Lived in Malta for a while after that before returning to Pittsburgh.

I work in sales and do theater when I have successful auditions.
