I'm an actor, writer, and comedian who was born in the woods of Pennsylvania, moved to New York for school, hung out there for five years afterwards, and now lives in Los Angeles. I go by the handle @jewslovetrees on various forms of social media, including TikTok, where lovers of trees, bonsai, tree humor, bonsai humor, and general weirdness unite.
As an actor, I began in New York, where I did a bunch of regional Shakespeare and musicals early on before I moving into television and film. I played the lead role in a film called "Hollidaysburg," which was part of a docuseries called "The Chair" on STARZ. I also play the the lead in the upcoming romantic comedy “Disconnected,” directed by Eric Karkheck, and which wrapped filming in Autumn 2024.
I've trained with great teachers at Columbia University in NYC and at UCB in New York and Los Angeles. I'm a proud member of SAG-AFTRA. For six years, I’ve studied with Lesly Kahn in her Monday night class, where my classmates are the hardest working actors in the city.
I wrote a book called Must Love Trees: An Unconventional Guide. It’s a comedic take on a nature guide, with perhaps more opinion than you’re used to. You pre-order it at the link on the sidebar.
