directed, and acted in dozens of original works.

well as live theatre and performances. He has also performed in
hundreds of independent films, murder mysteries, live comedy shows
and as a featured celebrity impersonator. Trademark characters
include Elvis Presley, Elwood Blues (with partner Jake) of the Blues

World Championship Wrestling, Kroger Supermarkets, Georgia Lottery
