Media like movies, games, and television have always been massively important to me. They were a calming force at the times when my life was at its most chaotic. While I was not a performer growing up, I did always enjoy making people laugh, and brightening days when I could. That desire began shifting more towards performance as I got later into my teen years, and came to a head when I auditioned for my senior year high school play on a whim and got a major character. From there I was pretty much hooked. If I could bring people the same joy and peace I had gotten from movies, games, and shows when I was growing up, I would be completely fulfilled in life.
