About me
View profile
I'm a Third Culture Kid (TCK)- A British father, an American mother, and grew up in the Philippines.  A global citizen, if you like.  I've traveled a lot! 

I went to drama school in the UK, and then toured the US for 4 years, traveling to over 30 states.  So, I've been exposed to and can do several US accents. 

I then toured in France, Switzerland and Belgium for 17 years. Most of those performances were in French.  This is why we have so many friends in Europe where I have accommodation! 

After touring that long, went back to the US - this time, San Francisco.  Started from scratch as an actor there in 2012. 

Now I'm back in the UK, starting from scratch again, but loving being back here and being closer to Europe again.  

If it weren't for Brexit, I'd most likely be living in France now.
