Bio

I was born in Rome, Georgia and graduated from East Rome High School in 1983 with honors with academic and athletic letters. I enlisted in the United States Navy and served as an Electrician's Mate in the Nuclear Power Program until awarded a 4-year Naval ROTC scholarship to attend Georgia Tech in 1984. I participated in the Georgia Power Company Cooperative Education Program working alternate quarters also during my career at Georgia Tech as well as participating in Navy ROTC and with the Fellowship of Christian Believers, a dynamic Bible study and choir ensemble. On September 1, 1990, after graduation and commissioning, I married Donna Jean Toomer, a dual degree graduate of Spelman College and graduate of Georgia Tech with a Masters in Environmental Engineering. We now live in Virginia Beach, VA (16 years) and have three wonderful daughters (Rachel –12, Danielle – 8, Jessica – 4).

I began acting 5 years ago, enrolling in a beginning acting course taught by Sylvia Harman of the Actors Place in Virginia Beach. After spending two years in the class I began to work with local agents doing various commercial, film and print jobs and continue training up to this day. I have extensive work experience; expanding on my technical, management and sales background to bring a well-rounded perspective to the acting craft. My desire is to represent, with passion, a positive perspective of life in all roles portrayed – always expecting humanity to be liberated in its perspective, challenged in its goals and empowered to achieve anything within its God-given purpose. I'm currently pursuing acting full-time and look to expand my work in the Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY markets in addition to the Mid-Atlantic region where I perform the majority of my work.
