My journey started in 2001. When, I answered an ad in the Hollywood Reporter for an audition for talent, for a Japanese Performing Arts Academy in Nagoya Japan for music, dance, singing, and ESL as the foundation (English as a second language) while managing, the day shift at the World famous, Hollywood Improv. I was the first Black manager in the History of the Hollywood Improv. I had just landed a tv pilot with then doctor, turned comedian and Actor, Ken Jeong. I was offered a lucrative contact to live , teach, perform and tour with Japanese, Super Star, Actor, Producer, and Film Director, Sho Kosugi. The deal was a one year contract to teach at his Academy of Performing Arts. Because, of Larry Moss's Acting class and others responsible for my education and well being. I have been able to teach that which I've learned to others wishing to do the same, worldwide. In Japan, making history by becoming the first Person of color to have their own radio show on prime time.
