He continued his early theatrical career at summer camp, in regional theatre and at the Governor's School for the Arts in Pennsylvania. Under the direction of his high school mentor and director, Tom Stretton, he performed a one-man show about the life and films of director Frank Capra, and was honored by the community for outstanding achievement.

He was awarded a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where he studied at the Circle in the Square Theatre School and the Experimental Theatre Wing in New York City.

Off-Broadway he played the title role in the 400th-year-anniversary production of Henry V and was commended for the best performance by an actor in a play by Theatre.com's Peter Filichia.
