A proud graduate of USC’s School of Dramatic Arts (BA, 2003), he trained under mentors like Kelly Ward and built a diverse career voicing iconic characters—from Wolfgang in the Skylanders franchise, Wile E. Coyote in New Looney Tunes, and Reese in Batman: The Killing Joke, to the Boss Baby in The Boss Baby: Back in Business and Morph in X‑Men ’97 .

In interviews, he’s discussed the importance of representation and turning fandom into real-world impact.
