Performer

I first performed on a small stage in my 8th grade English and Drama class as a security guard. That was the moment I really wanted to act on stage. After this performance, I received an opportunity to attend my first play, the Diary of Anne Frank. While watching the Army Community Theatre's rendition, I said I wanted to one day perform with the actors in this play (Maltby and Hearn Family). Fast forward six years and I found myself dancing, singing, and performing in Fiddler on the Roof with the Maltby's and the Hearn Family. Two of Hawaii's famous theatre families.
