Born in North Carolina in a small farming community in Davie County in 1956 . Grew up in Winston-Salem Nc .My grandmother raised me and having 12 children of her own. Was taught strong work ethics at a early age , Worked for RJ Reynolds for 32 years and retired and moved to Las Vegas Nv with my wife of 38 years little did I know I would get into acting One day I received a call from a casting director by the name of Julie Goldman who wanted me to work on a State Farm Commercial .Francis Coppola Jr hired me and after that it just started to happen 4 films later I'm still getting a lot of background work which I love .Julie is the greatest kind and understanding . I still cannot believe I have worked with Matt Damon,Wil Arnett,Tommy Lee Jones ,and several more great actors . I love the industry I love meeting the people and the production companies are great Its has been a lot of fun just being around the casts on set and you are always learning. My first principal role was on Harlees Roses with a great cast playing President Clinton lol. It was a great shoot. Cant wait to see the film when its gets released.
