Hello! I'm what one would call a non-traditional student. Which, if we're being honest, means that I'm old! While 43 is hardly old, it is certainly a long way from 18. I recently graduating with an Associates Degree in Psychology at Hudson County Community College in New Jersey. Long before this current season of educational pursuit I gave college the old college try, yet didn't finish the task while a theater major at Radford University. While I left in good standing, I was no top student. Plainly, I struggled while I was there. My struggles were not just academic. I discovered I was an addict and alcoholic in need of help. Recovery can be a long road, as was the case for me. I continued to battle my demons for the next 10 years, then everything changed. I returned to my faith and began to live in service of others instead of myself. By being clean I was able to live life on life's terms. I was able to function in my daily life and began to fervently pursue a career in acting. Some may think, why complete the degree if you're already working in your desired career? So often in the addict's life, there are heaps of unfinished business. I want to finish what I started. While I've been extremely blessed to work in film and television for the past 10 years, have a beautiful wife and an amazing little boy, I have some unfinished business to tend at Radford University. Contrary to perception, actors in film and TV aren't making buckets of cash unless a series regular. So, I joined Bold.org to see if any donors might be willing help me finish what I started.
