Intense training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles followed. His television debut came on "General Hospital" in the 1980's as a club disco dancer, and his legit break in San Diego Repertory Theater's legendary production of Mother Courage with Whoopi Goldberg; and he continues to appear in local stage productions to this day.
