- Most people know I’m Italian and while working on my dual citizenship I found out that my dad became an American Citizen when he was 6yo and I am also part Chinese. So, no matter how you spin it I’m a noodle fan.
- Another fun pasta fact My Uncle Luigi Franzese invented Penne ala Vodka. You can look it up. So, Olive Garden owes me Residuals.
- My very first paid acting gig I was an actor/director in an all year long haunted house. Now here I am in Blood/Love an immersive vampire musical, so the circle is complete Moohoohahaha.
- I probably go to at least one thrift store a day. I don’t buy something every day but that’s how you find the really weird stuff but visiting thrifts. I sometimes have a booth called Handsome Heavyweight I do at places like this all plus size flea called @ThickThrift LA
- I’m allergic to cats. I think they are so cute but if you have one, you’re hanging at my place only.

- I store a lot of lyrics to random songs in my head by close friends are always floored by how many raps, musicals, commercial jingles, and rock songs are forever in my head.
- My favorite things in the world are things that look like other things. Like a lighter that looks like a battery or a speaker that looks like a hamburger also mini things and giant things bring me joy.
- I’ll do anything for my nieces and nephews. I’m the ultimate Guncle. During the pandemic my niece was failing in school so I homeschooled her through second grade and taught her to read. She is now an honor roll student.
- I’m a serious SADE fan. All I want is a man, a meal and Sade music playing. Is that too much to ask?
- My favorite vampire is the one from Sesame Street. You may have a different favorite but does he even Count?
