The Actor

For twenty years, the stage has been my laboratory. As an award-winning professional actor, I learned that performance is not simply an act of emotion, but an act of engineering-like technique. The line that gets a laugh, the scene that breaks a heart, these are not happy accidents. They are the predictable results of a well-understood, well-executed set of mechanics founded on artistic inspiration.

This obsession with 'how things work' led me from the stage to the page. From deconstructing a script to deconstructing the very systems that govern our lives. As a writer and theorist, I focus on identifying the first principles and unspoken rules behind everything from the structure of a good joke (Applied Humor Theory) to the decay of public reason. My work is an act of intellectual cartography; an attempt to draw an honest map of a confusing world.

Today, my work lives at the intersection of these two worlds. I explore the future of human performance in the age of artificial intelligence, not as a replacement for our craft, but as its most powerful and honest mirror. These theories are not just abstract exercises; they are the active blueprints for my live, performative work. To see this philosophy in practice, where the art of the story meets the craft of the spirit, I invite you to explore my events company, The StoryTender.
