I was born in New Orleans, but moved away with my family when I was relatively young. My father was in the military, so I had to move quite a bit and had the opportunity to meet a tremendous amount of other people, join new communities, and really learn about different types of people, cities and communities. I completed my Bachelor of Arts Degree at Nicholls State University and finished graduate programs at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University. Sports have always been a part of my life from middle school until now, so it’s just natural for me to do this.

I grew up in Metairie and live in New Orleans. I've been in some form of acting since I was 12. I've dabbled in both television and radio production, but have fallen in love with audio journalism and podcasting since then. I produce and host backstage on the bayou, an arts and entertainment podcast with a New Orleans bent, in which I interview actors, musicians, performers, producers, and creators. I do this on my own time and my own dime. It's a true labor of love. I'm also the founder of Nola New Media.
