The Summer lean bulk still in effect ☀️ 💪🏻
Biggest goal—wider lats. Secondary goal—bigger arms.
And all the while pushing my lower half hard and working to put some size into my upper chest.
I’m trying, okay?!!!

Congrats to Deidre Hall on 50 years at Days of our Lives!! She made the scene I was privileged to have with her incredibly smooth and easy. She also showed such kindness while on set, and seeing how she treated the crew was also a masterclass all its own.
🎞️ Last slide is the end of the scene I had with Deidre when I played Kerry Youmans.
Shoutout to my other scene partners A L C A L D E R O N and Greg Rikaart as well 👏🏻

Crazy this was over 10 years ago…
My ballroom rhythm routine to “Toxic,” inspired by Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Trained with Dance Tonight Chattanooga as a “local celeb,”, performed with the pro Catharine Coll, raised money for a great cause, Kidney Foundation of Chattanooga.
FUN FACT: After this I was invited to become a ballroom dance instructor intern before moving to LA.
Not gonna lie, I miss it.

Ya boi came, he auditioned, and…ADVANCED!
I got the coveted red rescue gear sticker at the open casting call that pushed me to the second round. So, I auditioned again for a new set of people, got some body shots taken after, and now we wait to see what happens from here.
Both reads went really well and they each gave me nice praises afterward. With that, whatever happens, I’m proud.
It be like that sometimes.
