I once was young boy with big dreams; I wanted be be a “star” and be on the big screen. How great would it be having hundreds of people yelling your name and taking your picture? All I ever wanted was to help, inspire, and encourage others; having people wanting to be you and being moved by your actions and person.
My real start to acting came a little later than I hoped, it wasn't until 2010 when I realized I really wanted to act, I remember the day so clearly; I was downstairs doing some of my “grade 6 school work” when my mom called me upstairs to show me an ad in the paper for munchkin auditions for The Wizard of Oz at Theatre Ancaster.

I was automatically filled with joy, and what I didn't know is that this event would have lead me to a series of life changing events and future aspirations.
