My Story
The Journey So Far
Born and raised in Boston, I began my professional ballet career in 2018-2019 when I moved to Toronto and joined the esteemed National Ballet of Canada as an apprentice. That same year I was honored to win the RBC Emerging Artist Award.
In January 2020 I was promoted to the corps de ballet, and in 2021, I became a second soloist.
I have danced with National Ballet of Canada in “Sleeping Beauty,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “The Nutcracker”, “Chroma,” “Angels’ Atlas,” “The Dreamers Ever Leave You,” “Elite Syncopations,” “Skyward,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Swan Lake,” and many other classical and contemporary ballets.
Prior to joining the National Ballet of Canada, I was a trainee at The Boston Ballet, where I received the Boston Ballet School Mikko Nissinen Artistic Scholar 2017-2018.
Highlights
I started dancing, singing and acting when I was 7. And when I was 12, I was cast as Billy Elliot and toured to 40 cities in the National Broadway tour, “Billy Elliot the Musical.” When the musical was running in Boston, I had the opportunity to sing the national anthem at Fenway Park before a Boston Red Sox baseball game. As a Red Sox fan, this was a highlight of my time on the “Billy Elliot the Musical” tour.
Among my other performance highlights: dancing with BalletX at the Wilma Theater in Philadelphia, performing at “Broadway Under the Stars” at the Hudson Riverfront Performing Arts Center, and playing The Artful Dodger in “Oliver!” at the Trinity Repertory Co. in Providence, R.I.
I am grateful to have won an IRNE Award for Promising Young Performer; multiple BroadwayWorld awards for Best Actor, Best Dance Performance and Best Vocal Performance; StageScene LA’s Best Leading Performance award, and American Dance Awards’ Junior Male Dancer of the Year.
Thank you to all those who have supported me in pursuing my love of dance, most importantly, my parents.
