I do my very best to live up to my name. I like to think of myself as a seeker and bringer of Light who sees the world through eyes of wonder, eager to make new discoveries and share with others my stories and experiences through my Art. I am a first generation Filipino-American gay male, born in Bayonne and raised in Vernon, New Jersey. I am the son of two immigrant parents, and I am proud of my heritage and upbringing. East coast, mabuhay! I am an actor, singer, musician, educator, and social activist who strives to leave the world a better place than how I came into it. As an actor, I have appeared on Broadway in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables and on screen in Virtue; have owned and operated a thriving private vocal coaching studio for over a decade now; am a 3-year ensemble member for Visible Ink, which brings to life onstage the writings of cancer patients and survivors at Memorial Sloan Kettering; and also am currently the Broadway Ambassador Coordinator for an Arts education non-profit organization. Got an idea of how to do some good out in the world and make some beautiful art while we’re at it? Wanna get involved with dismantling systemic racism and fight to make Arts education available for all? Interested in working together to tell an untold story or amplify a voice that has never before been heard in the mainstream? Drop me a line, I’m always up for brainstorming a collab. Let’s make it happen!
