I’m an Actor and a Motivational Speaker out of New York City. I love what I do! I've been blessed with the gift of helping others identify their passion and purpose in life, afforded the opportunity to reach thousands of dreamers all over the world with my message, and (most importantly), I'm able to LIVE MY DREAM every single day of my life!
I'm no expert. I'm a dreamer like you. The universal principles I use to help others find their "happily ever afters" are what I've gathered from my own journey. That's why DREAMS & DETOURS is so close to my heart... because I know we've all experienced road blocks in our lives.
Some of us bust through them... and that's great! But sadly most of us turn around and go back. NO! I want you to remember that you're the driver. You're in control. It's your path... this album will remind you of that on every track.
