Frederick
Ohio

I grew up farming and landscaping, so I’m comfortable operating tractors, heavy equipment, trucks, and working outdoors in all kinds of conditions. I’m experienced with firearms, have a strong work ethic built from hands-on labor, and have played baseball for many years, allowing me to naturally portray athletic and sports-related roles. I bring versatility to every role. I can play the easygoing, approachable guy just as naturally as the quiet, serious type. I also have a spontaneous sense of humor and can deliver unexpected, off-the-wall moments when the scene calls for it. On the other end of the spectrum, I have the size, presence, and demeanor to convincingly portray intimidating or tough characters who command attention without saying much. My real-life experience allows me to authentically portray farmers, ranchers, outdoorsmen, blue-collar workers, law enforcement, military, hunters, and athletes. I’m dependable, adaptable, take direction well, and am committed to bringing authenticity, grit, humor, or intensity to every role.
