Born back in ‘61, I’ve packed in a lot of life. First and foremost, I’m just a dad trying to do right by my kids—if there’s one thing I want stamped on my legacy, it’s that. The rest? Well, let’s just say I’ve seen my fair share. Ran with Special Operations Aviation, lived for the thrill, and yeah, I’m about as patriotic as they come. Red, white, and blue in my veins—not just a saying, it’s the way I operate. Funny thing: you spend decades chasing adrenaline, dodging danger, and then one day, you find yourself under studio lights instead of a desert sun. Acting kind of snuck up on me. Didn’t expect to get bit by the bug this late in the game, you know? But there’s something about slipping into a character, finding the truth in a scene, that just lights me up. Maybe it’s the teamwork, maybe it’s the rush, maybe it’s just a new kind of adventure. Either way, I’m all in. Now, as retirement peeks around the corner, I’m not slowing down—just changing gears. Every day on set, I’m learning, pushing myself, and honestly? I feel more alive than ever. If you’re wondering who I am, I’m the guy who never really left the action, just found a new way to channel it. Acting’s not just a hobby—it’s the next mission. And I’m ready for whatever scene comes next.
