What I'm looking for

I'm looking for acting, voice-over, live entertainment, and themed-performance opportunities where I can create memorable guest experiences and contribute my training, hospitality, and event-performance background.

I'm an actor and voice-over artist creating live entertainment experiences in Orlando. I currently perform with The Speakeasy Murder as Larry Lombardo and Mama Scarpelli, and at Pirate's Dinner Adventure as Captain Sebastian the Black.

At Universal Orlando Resort, I bring guest experiences to life across Grinchmas, Mardi Gras, Mega Movie Parade, and as Megatron in Transformers. I've also performed at Walt Disney World, where I trained and mentored new Star Wars performers while maintaining high standards for safety, courtesy, and efficiency.

My entertainment background includes mascot performance with Amplified Mascot Partners and leading mascot initiatives for the Miami Dolphins, where I increased annual appearances from 90 to more than 300. I created social content, video, skits, and in-game performances while coordinating programs for the 2010 Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIV.

I've also led hospitality teams at Hopdoddy Burger Bar and Marlow's Tavern, hiring, training, scheduling, and managing inventory. At Traeger Pellet Grills, I was responsible for $750,000 in sales in 2021.
