ABOUT
Dave grew up in Lansing, Michigan and moved to NYC in 2000 to finish his undergraduate training at the Atlantic Acting School as part of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
He has acted in numerous stage productions with regional theaters and also while pursuing his MFA at the Hilberry Repertory Theater Company as part of Wayne State University. After graduate school, Dave took some time away from acting to pursue a short fling with playwriting and found himself on a tortuous road removed from the arts, only to return to his main passion for the stage over 10 years later.
He is thrilled to be remounting a solo production of The Devil & Billy Markham in the fall of 2025.
